Eastnor Castle Mud Bath (10km, 6km, 3km)

Sun 11th May 2025

Participants in a mud run navigate through a waterlogged, muddy obstacle in a forested area. They appear to be enjoying the challenging activity, smiling and helping each other through the thick mud. Green foliage surrounds the scene, and sunlight filters through the trees. A group of people wearing green shirts and race bibs run through a muddy forest trail, covered in mud from head to toe. They appear to be participating in an obstacle course or adventure race, smiling and laughing despite the challenging conditions. A family of four stands in a muddy stream, smiling and posing for the camera. They are participating in an outdoor adventure or obstacle course event, wearing matching headbands and sports attire. The background shows a lush, green wooded area with some terrain markers. A green off-road vehicle drives through a muddy, narrow forest path filled with deep puddles, surrounded by lush green foliage and trees. The vehicle's headlights are on, illuminating the challenging terrain ahead. A group of people, covered in mud, joyfully raise their arms as they navigate a muddy, forest trail during a race. The runners in the background are also muddy and smiling, surrounded by dense green trees under bright sunlight. Race bibs are visible on some participants.

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.

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.

Max ratio of 1 adult to 2 children who must remain together at all times. Accompanying adults are of course welcome to register as formal participants. 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 are approximate and we reserve the right to add on a few metres to find some extra good muddy bits :-)

There are no cut offs, though please note the races are not open to pure walkers, but we always welcome people who will do a mix of run, jog and walk their way around our routes.

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!
