CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwired) -- 05/10/13 -- Event 360, Inc. is raising the bar on obstacle course runs and mud runs with MuckFest MS. Described by Obstacle Racing Magazine as an "awesome event" for both experienced runners and experienced exercise-avoiders, MuckFest MS is a nationwide series of mud and obstacle course runs in 18 U.S. cities, bringing together friends, families, and corporate teams alike.
"Early on in the Obstacle Course racing season, MuckFest MS has already set the bar high," says Boston participant and mud run blogger Rob Fournier. "Other national events should take notice. The course is beautifully designed with challenging obstacles and enthusiastic volunteers. Great Course! Great Cause!"
Sponsored by Procter and Gamble's Tide® and benefiting the National MS Society, MuckFest MS is quickly becoming America's favorite mud and obstacle run with its singular focus: pure fun. Designed for people of all fitness levels as an alternative to extreme obstacle races that promise to electrocute you and set you on fire, MuckFest MS features five miles of muck-filled mazes, pits, craters, and over 20 gigantic obstacles that spin, swing and fling you up, down and sideways.
"I'd heartily recommend MuckFest MS," writes Paul Jones in Obstacle Racing Magazine. "They've got a great balance between a fun course with easy to manage obstacles for the new comers and first timers -- along with challenging and technical obstacles that would give the competitive runners a moment's pause while they figure it out and navigate through. The distance was great and the venue provided some really nice trails. The festival was well run and the event organizers worked well with the biggest team and fundraisers."
