Endure the Dirt 5k Cancer Mud Run

We are excited that you have landed here on our page.  This year we are doing the COLORS OF CANCER because it was such a big hit last year.  We are changing the colors of shirts etc, but we are still asking everyone to be creative and wear many colors as you run.  Or wear a white shirt for the color run and make it colorful as you race.  

You can decide to run VIRTUAL or join us to ENDURE THE DIRT and get DIRTY or do our COLOR RUN and stay somewhat clean.  !

There are several options that we know will fit your needs and level of fun.  

ENDURE THE DIRT- COMPETITIVE

ENDURE THE DIRT- TEAM

ENDURE THE DIRT- FUN RUN

ENDURE THE DIRT is a 5K mud run that consists of obstacles that are engineered to test your strength and tackle your fears. Located on the flat land of Stuttgart surrounding Mack’s Prairie Wings, this course is designed for a healthy individual to understand what a cancer patient endures daily. Fellow participants will be there to give you a boost and help you conquer each task, just as the cancer patient has their caregivers to help them tackle cancer. 

POUNDING THE PAVEMENT COLOR RUN

POUNDING THE PAVEMENT COLOR RUN   If you don't want to get dirty you can participate our Pounding the Pavement Color Run.  It is a 5K color run that is so much fun. Last year was our first year and even those that didn't want to get sprayed with color decided they would.  

MINI MUDDER

Bring your little people and let them get dirty for cancer too.  This is a smaller course right at the finish line that has obstacles adapted for ages 4-9.  Must have a guardian present.  

SLEEP IN/ NOW WE SPRINT VIRTUAL OPTION

The NOW WE SPRINT VIRTUAL 50 MILE OR MORE RUN begins January 1st, 2026.  
 Why in January?  Because of the weather.  Cancer patients have to deal with extreme circumstances just like you may have to deal with extreme weather.  We want you to be uncomfortable, just like cancer patients are uncomfortable every day while battling the dreaded disease. 

The Virtual race is also a great way to get ready for Endure the Dirt. Enter your miles by March 6, 2026. 

We hope that you take a look venture to Stuttgart and see what all we have going on down in southeast Arkansas.  It is something you don't want to miss.

CANCER GETS DIRTY, BUT WE DO TOO!
