Thank you for being such an enthusiastic part of the Shasta Mud Run family. Year after year, you’ve embraced the mud, the obstacles, and the camaraderie—and together we’ve raised crucial funds to empower local youth through leadership development, substance‑use prevention, and restorative justice programs.

It is with a heavy heart that we share Youth Options Shasta will not be able to host the Shasta Mud Run this year. We know how much you look forward to the challenge—and how much we all cherish the cheers, high‑fives, and muddy memories. Please know this decision was not made lightly.

While the Mud Run won’t take place in 2025, our commitment to this community—and to you—remains unwavering. We’re actively exploring potential partners, that could possibly bring the event back in the future. 

In the meantime, you can continue making an impact by supporting our year‑round programs: the Shasta Youth Leadership Camp, Youth Peer Court, and our Youth Firesetter Prevention & Intervention initiative. Your generosity fuels positive experiences and life‑changing skills for underserved youth. To donate today, visit:

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your grit, your spirit, and your dedication to the Shasta Mud Run. 

With gratitude and anticipation, Youth Options Shasta & Sponsors
