- The event featured mud pits, obstacles, and a slip and slide.

Approximately 250 individuals gathered for the annual Minnewashta Mud Run, embracing the heat with a sprint through mud and obstacles. The event, a local tradition, included a massive slip and slide kept operational by the Chanhassen Fire Department, using thousands of gallons of water.
Organized by Carver County Parks, the run served as a fundraiser for both the parks system and the Minnetonka school system. Discussions are underway to evolve the event into a dedicated fundraiser aimed at providing access to costly programs for underprivileged children.
Participants, from families with young children to teenagers, enjoyed the playful, messy atmosphere. The event kicked off early in the morning to mitigate the day's high temperatures, ensuring a fun and cooling experience for all involved.
