August 24th
Mission Statement
Tonka Mud Run is your family friendly mud run
to fight hunger.
To support those who face the challenge
of hunger by completing a challenging
athletic event. The event will in turn
promote exercise, family activities,
community fun, local businesses, and the
beauty and activities found at
Minnewashta Regional Park.
On August 24th, we are going to have two
races at the beautiful Minnewashta Regional
Park to support Kids Against Hunger-West
Metro.
The Tonka Mud Run is a little over a 5k. You
can run the entire course and take a timed
finish or you can opt to run a portion of the
course and take a JHF (just have fun) finish.
Our obstacles are family friendly and rate
higher on the fun scale and lower on the risk
scale.
For our mini mudders, we have the Mini-Tonka
Mud Run. It is only about 1/4 mile with
obstacles appropriate for your little one. The
Chanhassen Fire Department will be on hand
with their truck to hose off runners when they
finish and give safety demonstrations.
Bring the family and enjoy a day of fun and
exercise that helps a good cause too!
