Mighty Titans - Kids Mud Obstacle Race - Review

This is the second year in a row our kids have participated in the Mighty Titan race in Crestwood. My kids love their races! These races are kid-size version of the Rugged Maniac or other mud-obstacle races.

  There are several start times the day of the race. If you are not an early riser, you can still participate. You need to arrive about 20-30minutes before your start time to check-in. Here, they will give out the t-shirt, write his/her favorite number on his arm,  and offer the eye black to make you look and feel tough. When it is your time to race, everyone lines up and listens to Coach Nicole to start. The race is about 1.5miles with over 14 obstacles. The parents were able to run along with the kids to cheer them on which made the race fun for the whole family. There were volunteers at the obstacles for supervision and help like at the zip line and taller walls.
 My middle son, Rooster, is 4 and the youngest age geared for the race. Some of the obstacles were a bit more challenging for him as compared to my 6 year old who just blew through most of them. 

When Rooster went through the first mud area, it went up to his thigh which scared him a little, so he ended up going on the edge of the mud instead of directly through the middle. He was still able to get muddy, but not feel like he was in quick sand. Besides the sludge mud puddles and zip lines, there were cargo nets, tires, monkey bars, balance beams, slack rope, creek crossing, tube crawling, and wall climbing obstacles to conquer.
 At the end, they each received a Mighty Titan bracelet, water, and a banana. They also had the option to run it again if they wanted that day. My 6 year old was ALL over that of course! To top it off, a fire truck was there with the fire fighters hosing off the muddy runners.
 The price of the races is comparable to what you would expect for a road race and increases as the race gets closer. They are currently offering 3 races for $75 which is a pretty good deal. There are several more races being offered through September. One is next weekend in Prospect, so be sure and check it out!
