Race for Life Wirral Pretty Muddy 5k

Sun 17th May 2026

Two people, splattered with mud and smiling, walk away from a large pink inflatable obstacle. Other participants, also muddy, sit on the inflatable in the background. The atmosphere is energetic and fun.

Organiser's Description

Climb, crawl and slide your way around the Pretty Muddy® obstacle course at your own pace. 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, act like a big kid and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
