The annual adventure race, sponsored by First National Bank of Durango, will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the resort, located 27 miles north of Durango at 1 Skier Place.
One of Purgatory’s most popular events, the race, which doubles as a party, is as much fun to watch as it is to run. Teams or individual athletes can run a 5K race through a course that features more than 20 obstacles, including mud pits, a mountain waterslide, hay bales, a cargo net, mud pits, a log jam, climbing walls, a cold-water plunge and more mud pits.
A 1-mile “mini muck” course will be available for young runners, with live music playing at the finish line. Participants and spectators are encouraged to show up in costume.
Registration includes a shirt, race photos and post-race beverages from Steamworks Brewing Co. and Coca-Cola.
