AURORA, Wis. — The popular Aurora Mud Runs are back and will be held Saturday, Aug. 6, at George Weber Memorial Park in Aurora.

Sponsored this year by the Niagara Lions Club, the gates will open at 10 a.m.

A few years ago, the event was in danger of being canceled due to a lack of volunteers until the Niagara Lions offered to sponsor the event to keep it going.

Registration will take place from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with competitions in a dozen classes starting at noon. Contact Joe Johnston at johnstonllc@borderlandnet.net for more information.

Entry fee for drivers is $35. Adult spectator admission is $10 per person with ages 12 and under free.

Concessions will include food, soda, water, beer, and seltzers. Carry-ins are prohibited. The Niagara Lions and all organizations who participate will share in the proceeds.
