Daniel Barden Mudfest 5 Mile, 5k & Kids Mud Run
The Daniel Barden Mudfest is a memorial community mud run held in Deansboro, New York on May 1, 2027. The event was created in memory of a first grade student who died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in December 2012 and was founded by family members whose relative was inside the school that day.
The event offers obstacle-course running over varied terrain with mud and hills. The longer course follows the beginning of the 5K and then breaks off to steeper hills and additional obstacles. The 5K waves are untimed and may include muddy sections in wet conditions. A kids fun run covers one mile and parents or guardians may run alongside small children at no additional cost.
Distances:
- 5 Mile timed obstacle course
- 5K untimed obstacle course
- 1 Mile kids fun run
Age guidelines are provided for each distance: the 5 Mile is for ages 13 and up, the 5K for ages 11 and up, and the kids run for ages 5 to 11. Paid parking is requested with a donation; proceeds support local fire and EMS departments that provide on-site safety. The event takes place at 6844 W. Hughes Road, Deansboro, NY 13328.
