A chance to run through the mud - on purpose - is coming to Conyers as the Merrell Down and Dirty National Mud and Obstacle Series presented by Subaru returns to the Georgia International Horse Park.

The 5K and 10K off-road race will be held Oct. 14 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. for all ages, including ages 4-13 in an Adventure Kids event.

The Merrell Down and Dirty National Mud and Obstacle Series combines muddy off-road trails with obstacles throughout the race course such as cargo climbs and water crossings.

Proceeds from the event will go to Operation Gratitude, providing personalized care packages to military personnel overseas.
