NSWC Dahlgren Systems Safety Team competes in mud run, raising funds for local children, families, and residents in need

Nine of 10 Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Systems Safety Engineering Division members are pictured while celebrating after running a challenging 4 mile-long obstacle course, raising funds for local children, families and residents in King George, Va., June 27. As mud run competitors, they ran, climbed and crawled their way through at least 15 obstacles - featuring farm gates, muddy creek crossings, trenches, retaining walls, a tire run, a tire climb, and two mud pits filled with ice cold water - on a rugged motocross trail through wooded terrain. While on the job supporting the Fleet, the team works to protect U.S. Navy personnel by ensuring safety requirements are integrated into combat systems on warships.
