Night of the Dead Mud Run

We are extremely excited to bring back a Black Swamp Runner favorite: The Night of the Dead Run! This race is a 5k mud run, featuring 20+ obstacles for you to conquer! Many of the obstacles include a "challenge" side, as well as an "Xtreme" side, making our course fun for anyone! Even if you believe you fall under the "couch potato" status, our course will help you prove to yourself that you have what it takes to tackle obstacles you thought you couldn't! In addition to the run will be the fact that this event takes place two weeks prior to Halloween. Prepare to witness some spooky scenes, as well as a few potential surprises throughout the course! This run will be held AT NIGHT, so we will also plan to have a lit up course that brings a unique feel to the Black Swamp Run. This event will not be officially timed, but you will still be able to see an overall time that you completed the race. With registration you will receive an event T-shirt, a wristband, and a medal! Signing up within the first 4 waves will grant the option to also run the course a second time for $5! Those who choose this option will receive a different wristband. We are hopeful to have multiple giveaways, raffles, and other new items that will make this a more immersive event for everyone! We are also excited to be able to partner with multiple sponsors, including Ronald McDonald House Charities! We are proud to be able to donate 10% of our proceeds to Ronald McDonald House Charities!

The Night of the Dead Mud Run brings an exciting 5K to Oak Harbor, Ohio on October 17, 2026. Don't miss this beautiful event!
