Runners hit the mud in annual Atlanta Terrrain race

Thousands of people are spending this weekend playing in the mud and tackling dozens of obstacles. 

Lake Lanier Islands is hosting the Atlanta Terrain run. 

Athletes ran 3 miles through the woods, climb over walls and through mud pits. They carried logs and sand bags, and swing from ropes – even taking a dip or two in the chilly water.

Participants say the fog they saw today added to the adventure.

And the rain helped wash off some of the mud.
