For the fifth-straight year, leading auto dealer CRM provider DealerSocket will show its support for US troops by participating in the World Famous Mud Run, taking place Saturday at Lake O’Neil on the Camp Pendleton Marine base located in Southern California.

The challenging 10-kilometer race is packed with obstacles and difficult terrain. Funds raised from the race go to benefit quality of life programs for Marines, sailors, and their families.

“One of the most important things we emphasize at DealerSocket is teamwork,” said Jonathan Ord, DealerSocket co-founder and CEO. “Our military troops exemplify the greatest team in the world and we are happy to support them each year with our participation in the Mud Run. It’s a great way to build camaraderie among our employees while at the same time showing that we are behind our soldiers 100 percent.”

DealerSocket will send about 30 employees to this year’s World Famous Mud Run.
