MuckfestMS 2013 was one of our favorite events of the year. The difficulty level of the event was accessible to all, but the obstacles were anything but cheesy or home built – cranes with giant hanging balls, carousels with ropes to hang off, water jumps and human swings – check out our featured review to see how much fun we had, and what you missed if you didn’t come.
It was also one of our first big team showings for the year, with over 40 people – and since then, thanks to the wonderful Kandice keeping communication open with the New England chapter of the National MS Society, we’ve maintained a good relationship with them.
We just learned that they have awarded us their Shining Star Award for 2013!
This is a huge honor for us! We’re just a little (ok ok, not so little) obstacle community, with a running problem – but with our enthusiasm and experience, we make a difference.
The entire team is invited to the awards ceremony in Norwood, MA on Nov 21st – see the event in our community page for full details if you would like to attend 🙂
Thank you to the National MS Society! What an honor! We will be seeing you again in 2014!
You had *better* come say hi at Fenway!
This 2013 event was important to me. I was diagnosed with MS in 2007 and this was my first OCR – although I had done a lot of road races in the past year. The event had a huge impact and spawned my OCR craze for the rest of the year. It also brought me in touch with this community and I'm grateful for everyone I've raced with this year. I'll be at Fenway so say hi, and I will definitely try to make arrangements to be there for the awards as all three things are important to me: National Multiple Sclerosis Society MuckFest MS and the New England Spahtens!! Win, win, win!
