Event information
The Stamford Pretty Muddy route is a cross-country, undulating course on grass and paths and is moderately challenging. However, the scenery is gorgeous as the course takes you around the beautiful grounds of Burghley Estate. The obstacles are staggered at regular intervals around the course, and includes a natural one which involves wading through one of Burghley’s shallow streams which always meets with lots of excitement!
Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.
Follow highway signage to Burghley House. Do not use Burghley House Visitors Entrance, head onto London Road where the car park is accessed via the Bottle Lodge Entrance. Stewards will direct you to the event car park which is available within Burghley House and free.
Please avoid parking around the residential areas.
Please leave in plenty of time to avoid queues and car share if possible as this will help cut down congestion.

Race for Life Stamford Pretty Muddy 5k
Cancer Research UK - Race for Life
Race for Life is Cancer Research UK’s biggest series of fundraising events. Taking place across the UK, the events include 3k, 5k and 10k routes as well as our Pretty Muddy obstacle events. Race for Life started 28 years ago as a women-only event. The first event was held in Battersea, in 1994, where 750 participants raised £48,000. Since that point, Race for Life has grown into a series of hundreds of events across the country, raising nearly £900 million towards beating cancer over the last quarter of a century. In 2019, for the first time, the Race for Life opened its doors to men to participate too, making it a truly inclusive event, giving people the chance to come together with their family and friends, and join the movement to help beat cancer.
