Milwaukee, WI The Dirty Girl Mud Run is unlike anything I’ve ever heard. So, I decided to volunteer to check it out and be a part of this female-only, 5K mud run designed for women of all fitness levels. The 11 military-inspired obstacles are fun and unique but with just enough hell to keep your palms a bit sweaty. And the entire event is designed to be organic and eco-friendly. In fact, many of the obstacles will be recycled back into the earth.
