The Leatherneck is a 5.2 mile all-terrain Obstacle Course designed by a former Marine Drill Instructor to challenge each team mentally, morally and physically. The 36 Obstacles include mud holes, walls, trenches, and more that require swimming, crawling, climbing, jumping, determination, and team work.
This is what Obstacle Racing is supposed to be
Since 1993, the Greater Columbia Marine Foundation has hosted the USMC Ultimate Challenge Mud Run which has grown to attract enlistee's from all across the United States and Canada. In 2010, the USMC Ultimate Challenge Mud Run reached capacity with 3,600 teams and over 14,000 participants, in one day, making this the LARGEST Mud Run in North America. Because of the overwhelming response, the Foundation decided to host two events per year. Allowing the Marines to provide the elite quality event that is expected.
This biannual event was created to raise money, awareness and support for Marines, Veterans, and their families in the Columbia area,the state of South Carolina, and across the nation who have been wounded or killed while serving on active duty. Profits from the Mud Run have supported several local college scholarships which have been named in memory of Marines killed serving their country, as well as, local and National charities that support veterans causes and community leadership as well as events which promote the Marine Corps in the community.
Thank you for your support of the USMC Ultimate Challenge Mud Run!
