MuckFest MS – A Great Success On August 3 on Belle Isle, MuckFest™ MS rallied more than 1500 participants, volunteers, and family and friends for a mucky romp through mud and obstacles in support of a world free of multiple sclerosis. Made with mud, sweat and cheers, the fivemile course featured a gauntlet of muck-filled mazes, pits and craters with over twenty gigantic steel obstacles. The fun didn’t stop when participants slid over the finish line. There was beer, great food and music in the MuckFestival area. There was even a specially-designed mucky play lot for the kids called Lil’ Muckers. And here’s the best part: participants have already raised more than $100,000 helping to prove that you can have loads of dirty fun and feel good about it in the morning.
