DESCRIPTION

Run Amuck (Event is SOLD OUT)

The MCM's messiest mud and obstacle event, Run Amuck offers runners arduous obstacles and plenty of mud along a four-mile course on Saturday, June 23, 2018 at Butler Stadium. Rowdy runners, outrageous athletes and fun-loving families will attack the mud trench, lumber through a low crawl, beat a water blast and submerge in a super sloppy mud pit, just three of 20+ challenges that await participants along the hideously hilly course tucked into the wooden terrain of Marine Corps Base Quantico.

Belleau Wood 8K

The MCM Event Series will introduce a new 8K event on the same day as Run Amuck.

In June 1918 during WWII, the wooded area known as Belleau Wood, about 30 miles from Paris, was the site of a three-week battle with the Germans that would prove to be a defining moment for the U.S. Marine Corps. It was here that the ferocity of the Marines earned the nickname of "Teufel Hunden" or "Devil Dogs." Now on the 100th anniversary of the Battle, in a test of individual tenacity, the Belleau Wood 8K (4.97 miles) will send runners on a challenging course throughout the woods and onto the trails of Quantico.
