some cool facts
Numbers speak for themselves
When it comes to Obstacle Course, Mud Run, and Trail races we want the Muddy Buffalo to be on the minds of everyone in Western New York.
Our goal is to put anyone who is interested in fitness in touch with being uncomfortable and learning what it is like to look back and think to themselves, wow I cannot believe I just finished that … I actually did that.
ABout the Venu
Buffalo Ski Club, the area’s closest, most affordable and most family-friendly skiing and snowboarding facility begins its 90th Anniversary in 2022. Located on Route 240 in Colden, just outside West Falls, Buffalo Ski Club is only minutes from anywhere in the Buffalo metropolitan area.
Buffalo Ski Club brings together three ski areas — Sitzmarker Ski Club, Ski Tamarack and Buffalo Ski Club—and covers 300 acres with 43 trails ranging in terrain from expert to beginner. The area is serviced by two chair lifts, two t-bars and two handle lifts. Both stationary and mobile snowmaking guns can cover most of the area to supplement Mother Nature’s offerings.

The 30+ obstacles
The 30+ obstacles you will encounter will be both man-made and the utilization of nature. Over our 5 mile course you will find yourself climbing a wall made from tires, rappelling down a cliff, carrying logs, through mud and water, and so much more. You will be challenged.
Some of the obstacles will be tough, some will be easier. Regardless, you will have three choices at the obstacles; complete the obstacle, do penalty burpees/push-ups, or just skip it (elite cannot skip an obstacle).
The main objective of your participation at the Muddy Buffalo is to have an experience that you may not have had before. It is euphoric to look back at the hill once you complete it and think to yourself “Wow I actually did it”. You never know, you might just get hooked and next thing you know you, we will see you at the Spartan Races, Tough Mudders, Savage Races, Indian Mud Run, and whatever other race we may be at also.
