BROOKLYN, N.Y., Dec. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a highly successful 2015 season, with more than 50,000 participants forging through mud pits, scaling walls and working together to overcome 5+ miles of diverse terrain, today Mudderella announces its 2016 calendar of events and venues. The outdoor obstacle course series created for women, by women will host five events in the US and Canada next year, inviting women from all athletic backgrounds to join the fun and celebrate their strengths.
Registrations are now open for the following 2016 Mudderella events:
Mudderella events are non-competitive, team-based challenges that test balance, agility and willpower over a 5+ mile long course featuring 12-15 signature obstacles. After hearing participants' feedback, next year's events will also include a handful of new-for-2016 obstacles to make the event more challenging than ever before. Obstacles will test participants' fear of heights, core strength and more, and teamwork will be key to completing the course.
To encourage participants to work together and enjoy the journey, Mudderella events are not timed. More than 95% of participants sign up as part of a team, and the events focus on bringing women together to overcome obstacles while sharing an experience that's completely outside the ordinary.
"We are thrilled to bring Mudderella to five unique and beautiful locations in 2016," said Ali Schmidt, Event Director for Mudderella. "Mudderella is about being part of a community that celebrates women's strengths and provides an opportunity for women, alongside their friends and family, to have fun and to feel proud and strong. In 2016, we're looking forward to welcoming tens of thousands of new and returning participants into the Mudderella community."
At all United States Mudderella events, kids will also be able to join the action with Fruit Shoot Mini Mudder, a custom obstacle course designed for ages 7-12. Jointly developed with international soft drinks company, Britvic PLC, Fruit Shoot Mini Mudder is a one-mile obstacle course where kids have the chance to get muddy, work as a team and experience the thrill of adventure as they tackle 10 kid-friendly obstacles.
In the US, Mudderella will once again partner with Futures Without Violence, a national nonprofit that aims to prevent and end domestic violence. In Canada, Mudderella's charity partner will again be Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, which is dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer through funding vital research, education and health promotion programs. To date, Mudderella participants have raised over $400,000 for our charity partners worldwide.
Registration for 2016 Mudderella events is now open; spectator tickets are also available. For those looking for a discounted registration price, volunteer opportunities are available.
