  • Run Amuck Builds a Better Mud Pit for Adventure on Quantico

How do you build a muddier mud pit? The organizers of Run Amuck are busy doing just that for the MCM's muddiest event that promises participants will be a complete mess during the event on Saturday, June 8. Three giant mud challenges will be part of the 3.5 mile fun run through the hills and trails of Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA. To make more mud, the MCM staff is utilizing Bentonite clay.

Bentonite is safe, as it is frequently used in facials and spa treatments. Read more.
