Held at North Wildwood Beach at 13th and JFK Blvd, this event is a unique experience for participants of all ages.

Your First Mud Run is the only mud run in the country specifically designed for parents and kids to run together. The course spans 1.5 to 2 miles and includes 8 to 12 obstacles that are designed to be both challenging and fun for adults and children alike.

Brad Vaccaro founded Your First Mud Run (YFMR) in 2011 with a mission that extended beyond just having fun and getting some exercise. Inspired by his father’s untimely passing before retirement, Vaccaro wanted YFMR to be both meaningful and memorable. He envisioned the events as a way to support the communities where they were held, and to date, YFMR has helped raise over $50,000 for more than 100 local charities, including the Rotary Club of Fair Lawn and the VFW of Garfield.

Since its inception, YFMR has hosted over 20,000 racers across 50 events, with as many as 10 races taking place annually across six states in the Northeast. Vaccaro, a fitness industry professional who has competed in around 50 obstacle course races, created YFMR to introduce others to the sport in a more accessible and family-friendly way.

“We’ve made so many people happy and even changed some lives by getting folks into a new sport or back in fitness,” says Vaccaro. “What I’m proudest of at the end of the day is seeing how much fun everyone has.”

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a complete beginner, this event is the perfect introduction to the world of mud runs. It’s ideal for first-timers; anyone aged 5 years and older can participate.

Promoted as the largest “family-friendly” and “first-timer” mud run in the country, Your First Mud Run is an opportunity for families to bond over a thrilling adventure, all while enjoying the beautiful setting of North Wildwood Beach.

Additionally, they are hosting a second event this Fall in Fair Lawn on October 6, 2024.
