Run Amuck New

Course

Run AmuckRun Amuck engages runners in a planned three and a half mile challenge filled with obstacles, mud pits, water blast and more! The race begins at 8:30 a.m. adjacent to Historic Butler Stadium and follows the main roads for two miles before turning into a rugged off road run along Stadium and Firebreak Trails. The varied terrain and quality of obstacles make this race unavailable to wheelchair participants.  After the final mud pit, participants cross the road back to the finish line.

RUN AMUCK OBSTACLES
The 2012 Run Amuck course featured 14 arduous obstacles, two punishing PT stations and two messy, muddy, murky mud pits. The exhausting, exhilarating, excessive obstacles are: tough tire dash, strenuous spiderweb, backbreaking barbed wire crawl, tiring 20-foot pipe slither, elaborate A-frame climb, a cruel clamber up a cargo net and the forceful fire truck spray. The mud puts spans 60 feet in width, at least three feet deep and extend between 100 and 180 feet long.  New obstacles introduced in 2012 include the gladiator hit n' run and the ammo can scramble.
