Mighty Mud Mania 2012 is on

Saturday,  June 9! 

"Mighty Mud Mania" began in 1976 as the "Shout It Out Decathlon," a promotional gimmick for Johnson's Wax "Shout" Spray pre-wash. The activity was held in Chaparral Park in Scottsdale and the Johnson's Wax Company provided 300 white t-shirts for the participants. Johnson's dropped the program because our Arizona mud was too tough for the pre-wash. However, the City of Scottsdale felt the activity was so successful, that our Parks and Recreation Division incorporated the event into the summer recreation program. Re-named "Mighty Mud Mania," the activity has been held since then as the culminating activity of all the Scottsdale Parks and Recreation summer programs.

Event Details

Age groups for the original Mighty Mud obstacle course are: 7 & 8, 9 & 10, 11 & 12, 13-17. For kids 6 and younger we have a mini mud course & puddle pools for the tiny tots.
