THE BATTLEGROUNDS™ is the Midwest's only permanent mud run obstacle course. In addition to being a premier course, THE BATTLEGROUNDS™ is a destination! So come out and make a day of it. Our course is spectator friendly with almost half of the obstacles within view. Music, activities, vendors and fun challenges throughout the festival site. Plus, there is a kids course for the little ones so bring out the family. After conquering 5 miles and 30+ obstacles utilize the shower facilities, stay for the party at THE BATTLEGROUNDS™, have a meal at Cedar Lake Cellars or sit by the lake and sip some wine (or beer!).

Participate as a team and work with your fellow soldiers to complete missions and remember no solider left behind. Or if your tough enough, go it alone!

Cedar Lake Cellars is Missouri’s best winery experience and it is adjacent to THE BATTLEGROUNDS™ course. We encourage you to bring a change of clothes so that you can enjoy all that Cedar Lake Cellars has to offer. After you run, or watch your friends or family members run, stay for a little Rest & Relaxation! Clean up in our free shower facilities then come to “The Place After the Race”
