The all inclusive event will be held over an eight to 30-plus kilometre course, full to the brim with obstacles and challenges.
Event assistant Blake Sheather says while the event will be a challenge, everyone and anyone are encouraged to attend.
"It's a really good day to get out there in the sun and have some fun in a way you wouldn't usually," he said.
"We expect mothers, fathers, families, your gym junkie from the local gym, everyone.
"We want anyone and everyone to come along and dress up and have a good time."
When was the last time you dived in mud and had an excuse?

While there will be a family friendly course, there will however be one for those more competitive who have the chance to win something out of the ordinary.
"The big thing for this one that we're trying for Mudgee only, is the elite weights. This one is more competitive, who will be the fastest," Blake said.
The winner of the men and women's section win their weight in wine or craft beer.
"We talked to Bunnamagoo and Mudgee Brewery and they were really keen to donate.
"The craft beer is actually called Mudgee Mud funnily enough."
There won't be one but two obstacle courses with one dedicated to year 3-12 students, Mini Muddies, which is to be held the day before the major course and feature giant inflatables.
"We already have 10 schools signed up and we certainly expect that to grow," Blake said.
You don't have to be good, the whole point is getting in having a go.
The main event will be held on March 14, 2020 from 8.30am to 2pm at Bunnamagoo Estate, while the Mini Muddies will be held on March 13, 2020 from 11am to 2pm
