What better to do on Saturday but get dirty and run in the mud and all for a good cause. Two teams represented County Fire on September 6th at the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Mud Run to raise money for C.O.P.S., Concerns of Police Survivors. This foundation assists families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

Carol Montag, Amy Sheldon, Christine Tenorio, Jevita Webster, Joan Bacon, Jose May, Charles Bantum, Dwane Pianalto, Leslie Heaviside and Greg Beach all braved the 5K (3.2 mile) run. The obstacle course created at the Sheriff’s Training facility in Devore, consisted of twisted obstacles, 6’ walls, pipe hurdles, mud pits, low crawls, sand, dirt, water and of course lots of mud. Jevita Webster stated, “We were all sore and tired after the race, but it was worth it! We laughed, we fell, we laughed some more, and then we got up and kept going.”

What a blast! The mud run teams are looking forward to next year’s run and already recruiting to build more teams.
