MUDGIRL and Horseback Riding, Saturday, 5/31

We know this seems pretty random, but we’ve been inspired to enjoy God’s creation from atop a horse. And since there’s already a plan to head to the Poconos for the MUDGIRL 3-mile Obstacle Course, why not make a day of it and add a horseback ride?

Here are the options:

• A 45-minute trail ride at Mountain Creek Stables in Cresco, PA is $49.00+tax, (and gratuities if you feel led on that day). We’re signing up for the 10:00 am trail ride. You can visit their website for all the details, including what to wear, and any physical concerns or restrictions, and to sign up. https://mtcreekstable.com/

• MUDGIRL (no need to worry, we’re walking the 3 mile course) currently listed at the price of $47.50, and we’ll be participating in the 12:30 wave time. Wave (time) slots fill up quickly and prices increase as we approach the race date, so better to sign-up early if you’re interested. In past years, we chose the 8:30am wave time – great parking, but cold water and more wet than muddy, so we’re changing it up this year. What’s a “wave time”? Instead of having all participants begin the race at once, they are released at one-hour intervals to allow for even spacing throughout the course. Signup: https://register.mudgirlrun.us/event/mudgirl-poconos-2025-sat. There is one additional option with the MUDGIRL, if you have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out!) – you can pay for a $10 registration “Spectator” ticket. This will allow you to attend the event and walk around with your team and take pictures, but not participating in any of the obstacles.

If we’ve piqued your curiosity, here are a few scenarios to consider: travel up on Friday, May 30th, stay overnight, horseback riding at 10:00 am, mud run at 12:30 pm, then head back. If you’d like to participate in the mud run but not the horseback riding, we’ll do our best to coordinate carpools to accommodate. The location of the MUDGIRL, Pocono Raceway, is less than 1.5 hours from the Journey Cafe so same-day driving is an option too.

If you’re interested, RSVP below by selecting all the options you’re interested in.

• This sounds like fun - count me in for the MUDGIRL and Horseback Riding! I'll head over to Mountain Creek Riding Stables at https://mtcreekstable.com/ and MUDGIRL at https://www.mudgirlrun.us/poconos-2025 to purchase my reservation and ticket!
• I'm interested in doing both activities, and I think heading up the night before on Friday, May 30th, is a great idea too - count me in!
• I would like to only join you for the MUDGIRL event - I will purchase my ticket from https://www.mudgirlrun.us/poconos-2025
• The horseback riding sounds great, but a mud run? Not so much. I'd like to sign up for the Horseback ride and will handle my own transportation to and from (unless I find someone else doing the same).
• I don't want to get muddy, but I think I would enjoy taking pictures of you crazies as you go through the obstacles at the MUDGIRL. I'd like to sign up as a Spectator at https://www.mudgirlrun.us/poconos-2025
• What a fun and crazy Women's Ministry group this is! I would like more information/details before committing to either of these activities - please contact me!

Any comments or questions? We'll get right back to you!
