On Saturday the Fulton Jaycees will offer Mud Run Races at the third annual Fall Festival at the Callaway County Fairgrounds.

Barb DeVille said the Jaycees will have Mud Bog and Hill and Hole races.

"These are actual mud bogs and we have a lot of mud, not just a small amount of mud," DeVille said.

There is a $20 registration fee per class in the Mud Bog Races.

Gates will open at 10 a.m. Saturday and races will begin at 1 p.m.

There is a $5 charge for adults. Children 10 and under are free.

"Any craft vendors are welcome to set up at the event at no charge. But we request no food vendors," DeVille said.

DeVille said a costume contest for kids will be available starting at noon on Saturday.

The Jaycees will provide food, drinks and beer concessions on the fairgrounds.
