Running enthusiasts converged on Stone Bay for the MARSOC Mud, Sweat & Tears 5-Mile Mud Run at Camp Lejeune, N.C., April 26, 2014. The course offered a glimpse into the trying conditions faced by Marines and sailors training aboard the base. In addition to putting their own mettle to the test on some of the same routes used by the Marine Corps, the families of service members deployed with Combat Logistics Battalion 22, 2nd Marine Logistics Group teamed up with other runners from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit community to hit the course in support of their loved ones overseas. The runners earned their laundry day, turning their bright pink shirts a few hues darker as they splashed through the five-mile obstacle course. Dozens of other teams and hundreds of individual runners also joined the participants from CLB-22. Available in high definition.
