The muddy 4-mile obstacle course "Running Dirty" is set for Aug. 24.

More mud will be coming to the Old Bridge Township Raceway Park this summer as a new 4-mile obstacle based mud run will be at the park on Aug. 24. The Epic Brands, a national recognized event production company, has created “Running Dirty” a mud run inspired by the Navy SEALS. 

Racers will be challenged by over 23 obstacles at the Englishtown park, including a “Hell Mile,” based off the Navy SEAL BUD/S Training which is intended to push participants to the brink on every level.

"We are very excited about bringing Running Dirty to Englishtown on Aug. 24,” said Aaron Wilson, marketing director of Running Dirty. “We've developed a 4 mile race, jam-packed with challenging and entertaining obstacles that our runners will love and when you finish Running Dirty, the event isn't over.”
