LEWISTON, ID – The LC Mud Run marked its ninth season with the largest turnout in the region’s history, drawing 675 registered participants to tackle a 3.3-mile course packed with twenty obstacles, including mud pits, rope climbs, slip walls, a sandbag carry, a spear throw, and more. The event also featured the popular mini-mudder course designed just for kids.
“Our goal is to help people feel unstoppable and kickstart their journey toward ongoing outdoor activity,” says Jeff Marshall, Vice President of the organization. “We hope the LC Mud Run is fun, safe, and inspirational for every participant and spectator.”
The success of the event is made possible by local business sponsors, volunteers, and the dedicated local board of directors.
Highlights from the 2025 LC Mud Run
- First Responders Heat: A special race at 9:11 a.m. honored first responders, with registration fees covered by CCI Speer. The trophy for fastest first responder went to Riston Bullock of Nez Perce Tribe Forestry & Fire Management.
- Adaptive Runners Heat: At 10:12 a.m., adaptive runners (physically and mentally divergent) conquered the course, with costs covered by TriState Health.
- Honey Badger Award: This special recognition goes to the person who completes the course the most times in the time allotted. 19-year-old Asotin resident Gage King completed the course four times—totaling 13.2 miles and 80 obstacles. Gage even lost a shoe in a mud pit and had to finish his first lap barefoot. Fortunately, his mom climbed into the pit and found the shoe so he could complete his final three laps properly shod.
- Idaho Youth Challenge Academy: The final heat of the day was completed by 36 residents of the popular Idaho Youth Challenge Academy, who sang cadence throughout the course, before immediately helping with event cleanup.
At the conclusion of the Mud Run, net proceeds are donated to local nonprofits. This year’s partner is Hopes of Hope foster support program.
