If it means getting active, Warren County residents are willing to get painted and play in the mud.The community is turning to some rather unusual events as a way to promote physical activity.In May, Generations held a color run that drew close to 200 participants. Runners were drenched with a rainbow of colors from squirt bottles as they made their way around the exercise trail at McMinnville Civic Center.That’s been followed by a mud run held last month at Smartt Assembly of God on Manchester Highway. Church youth minister Brandon Eckel came up with the idea of bringing a mud run to Warren County because of their popularity elsewhere.“My wife and I really enjoy going and doing fun runs as a couple, so I thought why don’t we bring one here so the people of Warren County can enjoy one,” said Eckel, who is an active member of the Air Force and a former Marine.
