MUDD is a close-knit group of ultra and trail running enthusiasts based in Crystal Lake, IL. They are dedicated to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community for runners of all levels to come together and enjoy the beauty of the trails. The group organizes weekly runs at Veterans Acres/Sternes Woods, known for their scenic and challenging hilly single track routes through the woods. Participants have the opportunity to enhance their trail running skills through loops that allow for easy access to refuel and hydrate. MUDD also hosts two notable races - the Frozen Gnome 50k/10k in January and the Earth Day 50k/15/5 mile in April, providing members with exciting racing opportunities throughout the year.
