This Saturday, Sept. 10, Holbrook will be hosting the second annual Dirty Bird Mud Run making for some good (not so clean) fun. The community welcomes both residents and visitors alike to take part in the two-mile run covered in mud and feature obstacles throughout, including an under crawl, a log challenge and a tire run. The race provides a fun and athletic challenge for anyone who wants a unique workout, a great story or a new adventure to experience with friends.

The Dirty Bird is open to anyone over the age of 10 and promises to be a great family event. The cost is $25 per person, $40 for teams of two and $80 for teams of four. For non-profit teams call for special rates.

The race will begin at 8 a.m. along the Little Colorado River. To get there, drive south on Navajo Blvd., cross the railroad tracks and the bridge, then turn right on South Apache Drive and follow it to the end of the street.

Registration is at Holbrook City Hall. Contact Kathleen Smith at (928) 524-6227 for more information.
