Mud Runs are the ‘it’ event right now! If you’re down to get down and dirty on a truly challenging and fun course, there’s another one to put on your radar for this summer: the LoziLu. This year’s event is June 9th at Crystal Ridge Ski Hill in Franklin.This is a girls-only, non-timed event!
There are 10-12 obstacles on the 3 mile course, they are as follows: Climbing, crawling, jumping, balancing, sliding, and scampering. I’m guessing we’ll be doing more than jumping over puddles, but nothing that is designed to hurt us. For example, in the FAQ it states there is NO fire or electric shock. Thank goodness! Also, the course uses water however none of the water obstacles require the ability to swim, and ALL of the obstacles are optional.
You can join as a team or an individual. All fitness levels, even no fitness, are encouraged to participate. Sure, a little bit of training makes LoziLu much more fun, but if you can comfortably walk 3 miles, you can finish. Instead of a t-shirt, they provide a goody bag that’s a little different. Stainless steel water bottle, non-slip headband, stickers, and a gym towel plus a sponsor goodie. Spectators can come and watch for FREE so bring your guy friends!

Hey Anne,
I had been looking at this race as well, but didn’t have a buddy to go with. I would be up for being your buddy – I’ve been trying to connect with some more Milwaukee runner’s anyway!
Hi, this event is right down the road from me, if you want to maybe be on a team, I am looking to get some people together.
We’d love to have you on our team! I’m sending you an email now!
I would join the team too and could prob get a few more people…
Hi Christine and Tricia! *waves* So… I can get our team started but we need a team name! Should we be FitMKE? Anyone prefer a specific wave? Looks like they go every 20 minutes from 9:30 til noon.
Awesome! I’m good with any wave, though I would lean towards an earlier one so it will hopefully be a little cooler out. As for the name, since it is a female only race, perhaps our name should reflect that in some way?
***We’ve moved our discussion to a proper email discussion, but if you’re interested in joining the team we’re forming, leave a comment here or drop me a line at anne@fitmilwaukee.com!
