Climb, crawl and slide your way around the Pretty Muddy® Obstacle Course!
5k is just over 3 miles and can take about an hour to complete on average, but there’s no pressure to finish in a certain time – it’s all designed for fun! Get muddy as an individual or with a group of friends or family and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
And for kids there is the Race for Life Pretty Muddy Kids – a brilliant muddy obstacle course just for the little ones. They can take on the obstacles, crawl through the mud pit and have fun with friends, all the while helping raise valuable funds for life-saving research.
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is an inspiring series of 3k, 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy and Pretty Muddy Kids events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer by funding crucial research.
Cancer Research UK receives no Government funding for its ground-breaking research. That’s why money raised through the Race for Life events is vital. It funds world-class research to help beat 200 types of cancer – including bowel cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, testicular cancer, brain cancer, children’s cancers and leukaemia.
