And you thought FIFA was
dirty!
Fitness fanatics fl ocked to
Floyd Bennett Field on Saturday
for a mud-fi lled fun run
hosted by the Aviator Sports
and Events Center, where nobody
had a clean fi nish, according
to one athlete.
“On my way home my
cousin had to lay a towel down
so I wouldn’t dirty his car,”
said Sheepshead Bay resident
Ralph Soto.
The event, called Rugged
Maniac, is part festival and
part obstacle course, with features
including trampolines,
a water slide and a fi re jump
among a total of 25 obstacles,
which were all complimented
by lots of mud and lots of beer.
And between the fun and
the booze, everybody had a
good time, according to Soto,
who said he was inspired by
the spirit of fellowship and
good cheer to return for next
year’s event.
“My favorite part was
how group oriented the event
was. Everyone in your group
stayed together, meaning if
you fi nished fi rst you didn’t
have to worry about looking
for your friends, because everyone
waited on each other,”
Soto said “I just thought that
was magical because many
events don’t focus on that.”
That said, the Sheepshead
Bay man would have done
at least thing differently —
brought a change of clothes,
he said.
“Bring a pair of clothes, get
ready to get down, get dirty
and get soaking wet,” Soto
said “On my way home my
cousin had to lay a towel down
so I wouldn’t dirty his car.”
The Rugged Maniac plans
on returning to Brooklyn in
2020. The total cost for the past
year was $110 and included a tshirt,
photos, a free beer and a
