Grab a buddy and form your own Muck Squad for Reno River Festival's first-ever Run Amuck competition.

The race will start and finish in the middle of the festival, so you're sure to be seen by everyone and their mother, unless she's 'Running Amuck' as well.

You'll be going from Wingfield Park to Idlewild Park, where you'll get to "low crawl" through a 60' mud pit and continue on through other surprise obstacles throughout the 2.5-mile course.

It's a two-person relay so you and your most-foolish friend each get to take a lap. And before you hit the showers, we're giving away awards and prizes ranging from fastest competitor to best costume.



10 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Late Registration & Packet Pickup

5 p.m.
Awards Ceremony
