Are You a Mud Babe, Dirt Doll, Mud Babe Supporter, or a Wanabee Mud Babe?
 
Being a Mud Babe is all about attitude.  It's about having fun while pushing your limits, and not being afraid to get dirty or even grotesquely muddy doing so.
 
The Mud Babes are a part of Trail Nerd Nation. 
Sophia "MudStudMudBabe" Spencer coined the term "Mud Babe." 
Coleen "Cynical MudBabe" Voeks talked to her friend Travis Fox, who designed the initial Mud Babe design. 
And a full-fledged movement within a movement was born!

Give-in to your tribal instincts, and join us for a run.  You can run with the Mud Babes up to ten times per week!

Oregon Mud Babes
Five Trail Nerds ran at the Mt Hood PCT 50-Mile trail race near Portland, Oregon on July 26th.  We gave the two race directors, (Olga Varlamova and Monika Gold) Mud Babe shirts.  Don't they look hot?
 
KnitWitMudBabe (Cheri) drove up to support Bobbi, AKA "BAT," who also ran the 50-miler.  MountainMudBabe (Christy) crewed and helped support Greg Burger (with her sister and a friend), while Karen Henry supported her hubby Gary.
