Run Amuck will once again send relay teams through its infamous mud pit during the 2011 Reno River Festival (May 6-8, 2011). Teams can register now and be sure to get a starting spot in this increasingly popular event. If you've seen or participated in Run Amuck before, you know it's 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 heartily encouraged. The more outrageous the better, since a costume contest is part of the deal.
