Ground conditions should be perfect on Sunday, July 20 for off-road vehicle enthusiasts (right) who will mix it up Chapala’s Festival de Lodo mud-bogging free-for-all to be held at the lake’s edge on the northeast outskirts of town, starting at 11 a.m.

Meanwhile, an international field of runners (below) will tackle a slippery slope during the annual Chupinaya Mountain Race, heading out from the Ajijic Plaza at 10 a.m.
