I have told my friends who do those “mud” runs that “I don’t do mud,” but when I got an opportunity to work with The Drenched 5K through Fitfluential, I knew I could channel my inner Tiger Lilly and have fun getting wet during a hot summer race. (FTC Notice: Drenched offered me a free race entry for writing about this event.)
According to the organizers:
The Drenched 5K is all about bringing back those memories of summer fun. Participants will run or walk from dry to drenched through “hot zones” and drenched zones which may include mist tunnels, sprinkler minefields, spectator “sniper” zones, bubbles, fire hoses, and a 75 foot slip n slide (optional) through the finish line.
I can prance through sprinklers, don’t mind dodging water balloons, and would have so much fun running through soap bubbles!
Drenched is scheduled to be in 10 cities during the summer of 2013: Denver, Dallas Fort-Worth, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Jacksonville, Columbus, Atlanta, Phoenix, Kansas City, and Philadelphia. The DC area race is scheduled for July 13.
According to the organizers, the Drenched 5K benefits local Children’s Hospitals and fundraisers for local fire fighters.
Early bird individual registration is $40, but the people at Drenched have given me one free entry for any of their races to raffle off to one of my readers. The entry is good for any of their events, although registration is not yet open for Atlanta or Philadelphia.

SEE? and even I could grow to like this 🙂
RR Half in Richmond VA had a bunch of spray stations to cool the runners down – it was fun! Not sure if it will be QUITE as fun as getting muddy, but wet is still good 😉
This sounds like fun!
Oh and my favorite way to stay cool in the Arizona summer is to either go to the lake or escape up north to go camping.
Perfect timing for a "cool" race in DC. Sounds fun!
So much fun in 5k! Way to keep cool 🙂
We love to go hiking up 14ers here in CO! It’s so much cooler up there. Swimming is the next best thing though. I would love to run in a drenched race! I have run in a race yet here in CO. That would be a cool one to start with!
Sounds fun!

Fun! Hmm, in Houston it's staying indoors! Or going to the pool early in the morning.
