Run Amuck engages runners in a three and a half mile challenge filled with obstacles, mud pits, water blast and more! The race, which begins at 7 a.m. in Historic Butler Stadium, follows McCard Road for two miles before turning into a rugged offroad run along the Stadium Trail. After exiting Stadium Trail, it's back to the streets for the finish on the Butler Stadium track. The varied terrain and quality of obstacles make this race unavailable to wheelchair participants.
The Kids Run Amuck features a variety of obstacles designed specifically for participants ages 6-9 along a quarter mile course. View the downloadable Kids Run Amuck course map.
Run Amuck utilizes Chronotrack Timing Systems, Inc. to record the results of runners. The "B-tag" will record a runner’s official time, beginning when a participant crosses the start line and concluding as he or she passes the finish. Runners will recieve their B-tag on their race bib.
