MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif.(June 15, 2003) -- The hills of Camp Pendleton were stomped Saturday and Sunday as runners climbed, swam, crawled and trudged their way through the World Famous 10K (6.2 mi.) Mud Run course at Camp Pendleton's Lake O'Neill.
The race was part of Camp Pendleton's Hard Corps Competition 2003 race series, hosting a total of 7,000 participants over the weekend.
Racers were given the option of running four different categories, including individual, team, individual boots and "utes" or team boots and "utes."
Thirteen Marines from MCLB Barstow came down from the high desert for Sunday's race, entering two teams and three individuals.
Placing second overall in the military team boots and "utes" category was MCLB Bartow's "The Highway," made up of Sgt. Cory Kelly, Lance Cpl. Andy J. Hurt, Lance Cpl. Daniel Humble, Lance Cpl. Joshua Pascua and Pfc. Jeffery Raymond, with a time of 1:14:02.
Fleet Support Division, MCLB Barstow, secured fourth place in the same category, crossing the line at 1:18:19.
1st Lt. Jason Kut, operations officer at Fleet Support Division, placed fifth in the men's 25-29 class, while MCLB Barstow Headquarters Battalion Commanding Officer Maj. Clarence T. Guthrie III finished the course in 1:26:11, followed by Cmdr. Jeff Johnston, director of MCLB Barstow Installation and Logistics Department, at 1:26:15.
The course included waist-deep mud pits, river crossings, two different wall obstacles, a hay bale course, a lake crossing and countless hills.
Pascua said he liked the river crossing the best, while Humble simply said, "There was a whole lot of mud going on."
