Mud Mash Race [San Luis Obispo Sports Photography]

This Halloween I invited myself to shoot a very fun event in San Luis Obispo. The Mud Mash is a 5 or 10K race around Laguna Lake Park. The race takes it participants wading, tromping, splashing and climbing. The event was produced by All Out Events, a local sports event planning company. A portion of the proceeds went to SLO County's Special Olympics. All Out Events plans races, triathlons, adventure races and rock climbing events around the Central Coast. This was the first Mud Mash and hopefully it will be an annual event. Images are available or purchase as prints or digital downloads here.

These are going to be great later when they hit the mud pit.

There were a lot of costumes but I still think
Josh from Foothill Cyclery had the best one.
