WATERVILLE, March 2017 — Central Maine Motors Auto Group will sponsor the third annual Dirty Dog Mud Run at Thomas College on April 23.

This year’s event is expected to have more than 600 registrants (an increase from 300 the first year and 500 the second year). The run is open to the public with discounted rates for the Thomas College community. The run consists of 15 obstacles, including tire flips, wall and cargo net climbing, monkey bars, and water cannons … along with plenty of MUD!

“The team from Central Maine Motors Auto Group is once again ready to jump in with both (muddy) feet and make this a great team-building event,” said Linanne Guance of Central Maine Motors. “And the fact that it benefits a good cause like the Thomas College Recreation Department is just a plus.”

New Balance will sponsor the Dirty Pup Mud Run, a kids’ mini-obstacle course open to children up to age 10.

“We are excited that New Balance has agreed to continue their support of the Dirty Dog Mud Run by sponsoring our Mud Pup Run, bringing a low-cost opportunity to kids in Central Maine to get outside and play in the mud,” said Thomas College Director of Recreation and Intramurals Jim Delorie.

The shotgun will be at 9 a.m. and the kids’ obstacle course will take place at 12 p.m. Registration is $15 for alumni, $5 for kids and $45 for the public. Proceeds will help support the Thomas College Recreation Department.

Registration is being held online. For more information, contact Jim Delorie at 207-859-1183 or deloriej@thomas.edu .
