MUD GIRL TAMPA 2024

Event Name: Mud Girl - Tampa
Location: Tampa, Florida

As a sports photography company, we had the pleasure of capturing the incredible moments at the Mud Girl Race held at Little Everglades Ranch in Tampa, Florida for Epic Action Imagery. Once again, it was a pleasure to work such an amazing business partner. determination, and unity.

Mud Girl is a unique obstacle course race designed specifically for women, celebrating their strength, which was definitly present. The atmosphere at the event was electric, with participants from all walks of life coming together to take on the challenging course. One of the most memorable obstacles of the weekend was called the "Trap." This obstacle required the women to crawl under a cargo net, testing their agility and resilience.

As we positioned ourselves to capture the action, we couldn't help but notice the "Trap" living up to its name. A significant number of women found their hair entangled in the cargo net, making it an unexpectedly difficult challenge to overcome. It was a testament to their perseverance that they pushed through, despite the additional hurdle.

What struck us the most was the incredible display of camaraderie among the participants. We witnessed women on the outside of the cargo net attempting to lift it, hoping to assist their fellow racers. It was heart-warming to see the support and encouragement they offered one another. However, as photographers, we had to explain to them multiple times that lifting the net would negate the purpose of the obstacle. Their compassion and desire to help were truly admirable, we don’t think many men would have done the same.

Out of all the events we cover throughout the year, Mud Girl remains one of our favorites because the event organizers do an outstanding job of marketing their brand and fostering a sense of community among the participants. It's not uncommon to see female athletes proudly wearing Mud Girl branded items, showcasing their love for the event and their dedication to being part of the team.

At JP Pedicino Photography, we take pride in capturing these powerful moments and the incredible stories behind them. Working with Epic Action Imagery is always a pleasure, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them, Mud Girl, and other inspiring events that celebrate the strength and resilience of female athletes everywhere.
