The Mud Day Lyon — Vénérieu

Reports and event feedback

• Historical participant experience — Vénérieu ↗

  Public Runagora members — complete exposed event-page population

  Members praise teamwork, obstacles, organization and animation. Criticism includes increasing cost, bib and obstacle queues, cold water and limited refreshments. Unpleasant-looking water is a participant impression, not a tested contamination finding.

  Native event-page average on an explicitly stated five-point scale. Cards describe reported 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 outings and unstated years; posted 2018–2023. One explicitly names Lac de Vénérieu in 2017. The original 2015 programme verifies 5–6 September at Vénérieu; a member’s 2014 recollection and later exact days are not independently verified. A 2023 posting about 2018 is not a new edition. All 8 complete exposed cards, author handles and posting metadata were read in the original HTML and checked in the native browser. Values are published directly, never recomputed from topic grades. Equivalent ten-point text is not an additional score. Public handles, repeated writers and one containing page do not establish independent athlete samples. Attendance, entry funding and clean obstacle finishes are unverified. Source photographs, films and profiles were not read or reused. Perceived lengths and concerns remain attributed; medical, nutrition and unsafe technique prescriptions are excluded.
