MONTAGUE — Celebrate Father’s Day and the longest day of the year by participating in a European style cross-country run/walk race Sunday, June 21, at Scholl Farms, at 5955 Eilers Rd.

This year marks the 22nd running of Run-a-Muck. It has been two years since the last race. 

Obstacles and challenges on the race course guide you over and through this rural farm with wooded trails. While the course is mostly flat, there will be water, mud, hay bales and logs along with some special challenges to test your dexterity and speed. The second half of the 10K is rather rugged on newly-developed trails.

Kids who are 10 years old and younger will enjoy the Splash and Dash at 9:10 a.m. on a special kid-friendly 1K course. Ribbons will be awarded to all finishers. Trophies will be given to the first three boys and girls over the finish line. The entry fee is $1.

The 10K will start at 9:30 a.m. The 5K Run/Walk and Dogs on Leash starts at 10 a.m. 

All kids 10-99 can enjoy the three-person, four-legged sack race at 11:15 a.m.

“The Run-A-Muck is such a great way to enjoy nature, stay fit and have a lot of family fun,” said race organizer Stu Scholl.

Registration begins at 8 a.m.

Traditional and special awards have been created by Claybanks Pottery and will be presented after the sack race. The race day concludes with a homemade potluck around noon for participants, family and friends.

“I would like to thank everyone for their patience and support during our two-year hiatus — it’s good to be back in the running,” said Scholl.
