A muddy and fun obstacle course is returning to Kelowna for the third straight year.

Okanagan youth aged from six to 14 are invited back to the family-friendly Cub Crawl at Black Mountain Sept. 7.

Rebellious Unicorns Production Company (RUPC) and Results 4 Life Fitness are organizing this years festivities while teaming up with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club for the fundraising.

“It is important for our youth to be active and enjoy our beautiful outdoors,” says Rhonda Laturnus, founder of Results 4 Life Fitness Inc. “Being obsessed with obstacle races myself, I wanted to create a welcoming, fun and muddy course with our youth. My goal is to provide an uninhibiting physical challenge for all fitness levels, which will hopefully inspire participants to continue enjoying all aspects of outdoor fitness.”
