BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />Tough Mudder has submitted an application for a Special Event Permit to hold a two- <br />day endurance sport event at Wild Wings Game Farm on July 9-10. Tough Mudder is a <br />for profit company that has held events in the US since 2010 and elsewhere in the <br />world since 2016. This will be the sixth year the event has been held at Wild Wings. <br />This requires a Special Event Permit approved by Council because there will be an <br />estimated 5,200 people on site on Saturday and 1,600 on Sunday, impacts to public <br />streets, use of an amplified sound system, and alcohol served. <br /> <br />2. DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: <br /> <br />Participants have the option of three daytime events to run ranging between 3-10 miles <br />consisting of a variety of obstacles. Saturday’s event will run from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and <br />Sunday’s event will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. <br /> <br />The event will be held as outlined below and in the accompanying application. <br /> <br />• Parking and Impacts to traffic <br /> <br />The applicant has hired a team to specifically manage parking operations including lot <br />layout, signage, and directing of cars. All pre-purchased tickets include money collected <br />for parking, so there will be no collecting onsite. Parking will take place on the Atkinson <br />parcel located on the south side of 147th . During the events, Hyde Ave. and Irish Ave. <br />between 140th Street and 152nd Street will be open for medical vehicles and residents <br />only. All other traffic will be diverted to Homestead Ave. Additionally, 147th St. will <br />run eastbound only from Homestead Ave to Irish Ave. All road closures and main <br />access points will be staffed by Washington County Sheriff’s Department. <br /> <br /> Cost <br /> <br />Participation in the event requires registration and payment of $25-$144 per person <br />based on event and a tiered pricing schedule dependent on when registration takes
