by Sylene Argent On Saturday afternoon, around 930 participants, mostly women, sprinted off from the start line to take on a 5km course filled with challenging obstacles through the Dirty Diva mud run held at the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village. Organizer Shawn Lippert was
thrilled with the eventÕ s turnout. The event was created for women but was open to the public. Ò It was amazing. It was above our expectations. The day was beautiful,Ó Lippert said of the eventÕ s outcome. One of the obstacles in the 5k-challenge included a large mud pool that many of the participants jumped into, creating a large splash of muddy water. Some of the participants even took a quick break at this point to splash their teammates. This mud run, Lippert said, raised money for the Canadian
Transportation Museum & Heritage Village. The idea of hosting the 5km Dirty Diva mud run was to establish an event where individuals from all over the County, Windsor, and beyond could create memories. Going through obstacles, like swimming through a large mud pool with teammates and friends, is a unique way to do that. This also created a unique photo opportunity, capturing a moment where the participants in this fun run where overtaking a challenge. Lippert noted that after the
eventÕ s completion, the Dirty Diva Facebook page was lighting up with pictures the event participants were proud to post. Creating the event as a 5km course was a way to include many participants, as Lippert noted this course was a doable size for most people. He looks forward to the 2015 event. Ò WeÕ ll be back again next year,Ó he said. Lippert is also hosting the Undead, Unleashed Zombie Run in Windsor this September.
