Back in April the people at Drenched offered me a free race entry to write about their Drenched 5K running series. They also gave me a free entry to give away (congrats to my winner, Laura!), and a run drenched coupon code for $10 off (now expired). 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 really am not interested in doing any of the mud runs that are so popular, but this really sounds like fun to me, especially on a hot day in July–the D.C. area race is next weekend (July 13). Other cities still on the summer schedule include: Denver, Los Angeles, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Phoenix, Kansas City, and Philadelphia.
According to the organizers, the Drenched 5K benefits local Children’s Hospitals and fundraisers for local fire fighters, and a portion of the entry fees for the D.C. event will go to the Children’s National Medical Center, which is a great children’s hospital in Washington, D.C.
Have you done a mud run?
Are you going to Run Drenched this summer?
