The 4 mile challenge through the trails and hills of Quantico confronts runners with arduous obstacles, punishing PT stations, messy mud pits and smashing water blasts. Run Amuck is open to participants 8 years old and older.

I ran this race last year and had a blast! It's a 3.5 mile course with 20 obstacles. You must register online through the above website. There's also a course map on the site.

When you register, the site will ask you for your estimated completion time, starting at 15minutes and increasing by 5 minute increments. For reference, a 15 minute finish time equates to a 4:17 mile pace. This is impossible because of the obstacles. But, lower finish time estimates put you in higher heats. Runners go out 100 at a time. You can run in a later heat, but not in an earlier heat if you want to change heats. (This is done at the starting line.)

I entered 25 minutes for myself which is close to my mile pace on flat ground. Last year, I spent the first half of the race running around people on crowded trails and the second half of the race waiting for a clear attack of the obstacles. So, I wanted to run in the first heat this year to really test myself.

Anyway, registration is $40 + $1.90 processing fee. If you feel inspired, join us for a fun Saturday morning in June, and wear old shoes that you don't want to see in again...
