Run Amuck will be back in all its mucky glory as a major feature of the 2010 Reno River Festival. If you've seen or participated in Run Amuck before, you know this event is serious fun for everyone. If not, here's the story - Run Amuck is a two-person relay race along the Truckee River, starting at the Whitewater Park in downtown Reno, but saying that doesn't really begin to describe what goes on. To get the idea, think costumed runners negotiating a variety of obstacles, including the signature 60 foot mud pit in Idlewild Park. Two-person mucker teams can include co-workers, parents and children, and a variety of other couples. Outrageous costumes are seriously encouraged.
