Mud Monsters Ninjas

The Mud Monsters Ninjas course is around 2km and contains approximately 15 obstacles.

This will depend on the age and ability of the child, but we would say around 45 minutes.

None of our obstacles are compulsory, if a child doesn’t want to do something or cannot do it, they are fine to walk around the obstacle. Also if any child does not want to go in the mud then they don't have to.

• Every finisher gets a FREE Mud Monsters Run medal
• Every runner gets FREE photos to download from multiple photo points around the course

Upon arrival head to the big registration tent, this will be right in front of you as you enter the event village.

At the registration tent you will need to collect your child’s wristband, in order to do so you will need to have with you:
- The booking confirmation email with the QR code either printed out or on your phone
- Photo ID matching the name of the parent or guardian on the booking confirmation
Then you can relax and soak up the atmosphere until your child’s wave is called.

We recommend that your child arrives in the clothes they will run in. Remember to bring a change of clothes for afterwards. It’s also handy to bring a towel to help dry them off, ideally an old one you don’t mind getting a little muddy. Maybe also bring a picnic blanket so you can enjoy the event village atmosphere once they have finished and celebrate with something to eat or drink from one of our tasty food vendors.

The course is likely to be muddy, whatever they wear it will get dirty.

In terms of shoes, trainers are fine but might be a little slippery, anything with good grip would be a good idea. Please note, football boots (or similar) whether moulds or studs will not be allowed.

Event Village
In the event village you will find the start and finish line, so you can wave off your little Ninjas as well as see them cross that finish line, hopefully a little muddier than when they started.

There will be a selection of food and drink vendors offering a range of food as well as hot and cold beverages at a fair price.
We also have some additional entertainment which varies by event but is normally along the lines of bungee trampolines and bouncy castles etc.
There are some benches to relax on, feel free to bring picnic blankets etc to make the most of the amazing atmosphere.

Health and safety
Health and safety forms must be read, signed and completed during the booking process or you will not be allowed to start the race.

Key / Kit Storage
There will be a bag/key drop tent that is run on the day by a local charity. Bags can be left here for £3 per bag and keys can be left here free of charge. A percentage of the money taken will go to the charity manning the bag drop at the end of the day.

Please note that the event organisers cannot be held responsible for any losses and we recommend you do not bring valuables with you.

Showers / Washing facilities
We have changing rooms but no showers. We have separate male and female changing rooms but please note the changing rooms are there for the adult run, you are welcome to use them to change your child but please bear in mind they will also be used by adults participating in the main run on the day.

Toilets
There will be toilets on site for runners and spectators.

Spectators
Spectators are more than welcome to come and enjoy the atmosphere of the event village and to cheer on all our runners. There is no charge for spectators to come along on the day so bring as many as you like. Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times. Please note you must clean up after your dog.

Photo’s
We will have a brilliant photography team from Epic Action Imagery with us on the day so make you’re wearing a nice big cheesy grin. All our photos will be available for free on the web after the race so make sure you keep your race number visible then the photographers can tag you, making the pictures easier for you to find.

• LOST CHILDREN: We advise you to tell all children to meet at the First Aid tent should they get separated from you at any point. This is easy to find and right by the entrance to the event village. We do have a lost child procedure in place and they will be well looked after until you are reunited.
