Children slog their way through the mud at the Kids Fit Junior Spartan Race Saturday at Soldier Hollow. Children ages 4 to 13 could negotiate a half-mile course or one-mile Varsity Spartan course. Earlier in the day, an older crowd tackled the Spartan Race — a 10-mile obstacle course. Proceeds from the races benefit the Kids Fit Foundation. See photo gallery at sltrib.com/photo.
