Get Ready to Get Messy:

The Wild Thing Kids Adventure Run!

Is your kid ready to tackle the ultimate challenge?

The Wild Thing Kids Adventure Run is more than just a race—

it’s 1/2 mile of pure, heart-pumping fun designed specifically for

little adventurers.

The Challenge

Our custom-built course features a gauntlet of fun obstacles, including:

Climbing Walls to scale

Crawl Obstacles to wiggle through

Balance Challenges to test your focus

Foam Pit for a sudsy scramble

The Epic Mud Pit for a messy grand finale!

Don’t worry about the mud—the fun doesn't stop at the finish line!

Bring your own water gun for a massive squirt gun fight to help rinse off the grime and cool down after the run.

    The W.O.O.F. is a trail run and should be considered potentially harmful to your ankles, feet, and knees, etc. While the Ouabache State Park trails are not hilly, there are roots, ruts, and wooden bridges to contend with, as well as the potential for soggy autumn leaves covering it all :)
