Mule Maniac

Congratulations on taking on The Mule Challenge!

The Mule Team has worked hard to create the Mule Facility, but that is just a small part of what the Mule event is about. We want to create a great atmosphere for participants and spectators, and encourage full support throughout all the events. The info below will ensure you have the right information to make your day the most enjoyable it can be! Be prepared and take on the challenge – you are the maniacs that make The Mule great!
