In this exciting sequel to Mud Run, Matt and his teammates are disappointed when their favourite track coach, Ms. Wellesley, tells them she can no longer lead the school team.

But is there such a thing as too much, too soon? Mud Happens is about learning how to pace one's self -- in the race and in life.
