40th Annual Mighty Mud Mania
Scottsdale’s dirtiest event of the year is this Saturday! The Mighty Mud Mania, a mud obstacle course event, was started in 1976 as a promotion for “Shout” pre-wash spray. Since then, the city of Scottsdale has taken over the event and transformed it into an exciting, not-so-clean family event. With obstacle courses for kids 6 and under, 7-12, and 13 and up, there’s something fun to do for everyone. Older kids and adults will love the new Extreme Course, which features more challenging obstacles. Entry into this course is $10 for adults, with proceeds going to support youth programs in Scottsdale. After you get good and muddy, be sure to grab a bite to eat from one of the food vendors that will be on-site for the event. Closed-toe lace-up shoes and shirts are required for all obstacle courses. All activities are free for children, but kids are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food donation for the Vista Del Camino Food Bank.
Chaparral Park, 5401 N. Hayden Rd., Scottsdale, June 6, 8:00am-1:00pm, free ($10 for Extreme Course).
