Mud Factor - Wichita

Mud Factor - Wichita is a 5K obstacle race held in Wichita, Kansas, on April 10, 2027. The single format covers 5 km (3.1 miles) and combines running with mud pits and obstacles along the way, in the style of the Mud Factor series. The start time was not published at the time of listing, so check the event page for wave assignments.

Obstacle 5Ks are built for fun more than for times, which makes this a good pick for groups of friends, coworkers or families who want to get muddy together. You do not need much running background: four to six weeks of easy jogging two or three times per week, plus some bodyweight strength work like squats, push-ups and pull-ups, will help you handle the obstacles without wearing yourself out. Wear clothes and shoes you do not mind ruining, bring a change of everything for afterward, and expect to walk parts of the course as you wait your turn at the busier obstacles. If you are a regular runner, treat it as a playful spring session rather than a race.
