It's Better In The Mud Ashley Schreiner, center, emerges from the mud pit in the inaugural Arborfest Mud Run held Saturday at Hop Porter Park in Hailey. Schreiner finished first in the competitive women’s class. A total of 43 participants in various age and skill categories tackled the course. The contest required contestants to run into a mud field, crawl under a series of flagged ropes and run out of the mud to encounter other military-style obstacle-course impediments.
