BOUTS of rain on Saturday only made for more fun at the South West Mudfest in Margaret River.
Racing through mud and obstacles at Bootleg Brewery, participants took on either the five-kilometre or 12-kilometre course. Needless to say, everyone was a mess by the finish line but sporting a smile. Dunsborough's Ben Norrish may have been the exception, after losing his wedding ring at one particularly muddy section of the track.
Winners of the long course were Balinga Pasco (47:38) and Janet Smith (52:18); winners of the short course were Ashley Macauley (22:11) and Clancy Pasco (24:22).
