Organiser's Description

Eastnor Castle is the home of the Land Rover test centre, and over 60 miles of trails wind through the deer park and woodland. These man-made trenches and troughs exaggerate the natural terrain to give a year round muddy experience, and maintained with additional water, these mud pits are just as lovely in the Summer as they are in the Winter!

We will be making the most of the terrain as it lies, picking the muddiest trails the Estate has to offer. There will be a few natural obstacles - fallen trees to navigate, gullies to cross and of course, lots of mud to roll in! And in between the mud, there are some good hills. Everyone is very welcome to come and take part in our 10k, 6k, 3k or 1.5k mini mud bath.

The Race HQ is set up in the fields adjacent to the castle and we will take the route up and around the castle in the opening and closing sections of the course. It is a stunning building with a gorgeous lake sitting beneath it which makes for an amazing setting for this muddy run.

Provisional Schedule

medals & prizes

All finishers will take home a top quality custom medal. Adult medals will be a large 10cm x 6cm medal, Mini Mud Bath medals may be a mix of different designs but will all be specific to the Eastnor Castle Mud Bath event.

All our finishers receive a top of the range custom medal as well as a buffet of fresh fruit and other tasty treats. We also recognise a few of the speedy runners on the following basis.

Prize Categories

Top 3 male and top 3 female
First U20 male and female
First 20-39 male and female
First 40-49 male and female
First 50-59 male and female
First 60-69 male and female
First 70+ male and female
The final number of prizes awarded is determined by the number of finishers for each gender in a given race distance. If there are more than 100 finishers then the full range range of awards are made as shown above. If there are less than 50-100 finishers then the top 3 finishers overall will be awarded a prize. If there are less than 50 then only the winner will be awarded a prize. We do not have any winner's prizes for any of the children's events as would like to keep this participation focused.

There is no on the day prize giving because of the multi wave, multi start time format of the events. Prize winners will be contacted mid week via email.

Accompanying young runners

Runners aged 6 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult (no charge). Min age 3.

There is no charge for the accompanying adult, unless they wish to claim a finishers medal at which point we ask they register as well. Maximum ratio of 2 children to 1 adult. Muddy and water sections are deep in places. We suggest adults test the water for depth before children enter the water, there will be dry alternative routes. Children must cross the line with accompanied adult when this is their category or no result will be recorded.

distances

Distances are approximate and we reserve the right to add on a few metres to find some extra good muddy bits :-)

1.5k with a four year old. So lovely to runaround the lake and castle. Left the muddy swamp until the end which was ideal with a child. We made lots of new friends on the way around. 6k - lots of hills and mud, absolute challenge to get through the sticky mud. Felt amazing for completing. Will have to try the 10k next year!
