"Correr/ir a troche y moche."

The closest would be "correr como gallina sin cabeza"
Más formalmente "correr a ciegas"
:D

Wow! This thread is a great example of how versatil language is. So many ways to express the same simple idea. I love it. But I'm sticking with "troche y moche" only because I like the sound of it.
Por toda la tarde los niños anduvieron troche y moche.
