A limited number of entries are still available for the Marine Corps Historic Half, to be held Sunday in Fredericksburg. The initial sell-out of the MCHH took just 13 days last November, but due to the high volume of runner requests, the MCHH has expanded the race field and reopened to 1,000 additional participants. Runners can log on to www.marinecorpshistorichalf.com to register.

Run Amuck registration now open

Registration is now open on www.marinecorpshistorichalf.com for Run Amuck, the next race in the MCM Event Series. Runners will want to pack a towel and a change of clothes for Run Amuck June 21, beginning at 8 a.m. In the spirit of Camp Pendleton’s famous Mud Run, Run Amuck will feature a variety of obstacles, including plenty of opportunities for participants to get dirty along a 5K course.

Registration is also available online for the Kids Run Amuck, designed specifically for children ages 5-12, that offers an inflatable obstacle course, a tire dash, a faux ‘‘barb-wire” crawl and mud run along a 100 yard course.
