About Ruff Mudder
This 5.5km cross country obstacle adventure has you and your dog traverse over 80 amazing obstacles - DESIGNED FOR ALL FITNESS LEVELS. This event is about taking your time and making great memories with your dog. What have you done for your dog lately?
Through forests, fields, streams and MUD our course promises a one-of-a-kind day that you and your dog will never forget. The Ruff Mudder has been designed to challenge the most avid and energetic teams while allowing all dogs and people of most fitness levels to have a remarkable day. Chihuahuas, Mastiffs, 3 legged dogs - have all loved the course.
There isn’t anything in the world like Ruff Mudder. Designed to give your dog the best day possible this muddy obstacle course is pawsitively amazing. Ruff Mudder was built over four years by a veterinarian and a paramedic on their family farm. Both outdoor adventurers they wanted to provide a fun filled, dog friendly event.
Our “less screen and more green” motto puts you and your dog out in nature. This is an “anti race” as we encourage you to stop along route, enjoy the sky, chase a butterfly and breathe in the beauty- before you slip down into the next mud pit.
We would be tickled pink at your pawesomeness if you would help to spread the word about Ruff Mudder. Please use #RuffMudder with your posts to share the event!

A PORTION OF RUFF MUDDER PROCEEDS BENEFIT THE FARLEY FOUNDATION
Helping People. Healing Pets.
Right now, many people who love their pets dearly face a terrible reality: their pet needs a critical procedure or treatment, but they just can’t afford the cost. This is such a lonely and devastating position to be in – to forego non-elective treatment, or, in some cases, to euthanize. We started the Farley Foundation because we believe there must be a third option: to get help. Thanks to our generous donors, pets are getting the care they need and their owners receive a gift more precious than words.
Be Their Hero. When you donate to the Farley Foundation, you change two lives: the life of a real pet and the life of their owner. You’re helping to preserve and protect a bond of love and devotion, and giving hope to those who depend the most on their pets for love and companionship.
A PORTION OF RUFF MUDDER PROCEEDS BENEFIT PANTRY FOUR PAWS
Pantry Four Paws was founded in 2012, as a pet food bank to help those in need. We felt that no family pet should ever be without food, no matter what the family/owner was going through.
