This weekend was the 6th annual Reno River Festival. The event includes a variety of kayaking competitions from whitewater, boater cross races, and freestyle. There is also music, fly fishing demos, double dutch street battle, and plenty of beer to go around. Last year they added a fun run event call the Run Amuck. It sounded like so much fun, that Danielle and I signed up this year. The race is a 2.5 mile relay complete with obstacles such as a 60-foot mud pit that you have to crawl (or swan dive like I did) through. Each partner has to run the 2.5 mile loop, complete the obstacles, and make it back to the start/finish line with the baton (a bar of soap). There were 700 participants (350 teams) all dressed to the nines with kooky costumes. Danielle and I donned our caveman costumes, laced up our running shoes, and made our best attempt to make fools of ourselves. Slightly bruised and battered from the obstacles, it was a successful run. After the 5 miles were complete, we jumped in the excessively cold Truckee River to rinse off. The results haven’t been posted yet, so we don’t know where we placed, but we will post that when it is available. Many thanks to Aunt Ginger, Janet, Grandma Margaret, and Brad for coming out, taking some pics, and watching the fun. I am sure you guys were laughing all the way home!
