Mudfest - February

The route is a 4.28 km long loop of trail running, a mix of gravel path and soft mud. After leaving the HQ you will snake down to the ponds. From here a dogleg out to the muddiest section of the route before looping back round to the HQ.

You'll receive your pre-race briefing via email roughly ten days before the event date that will be packed full of all of the information that you may need to know.

• Custom bespoke medal
• Fully signposted route
• Huge fully stocked aid station at race HQ
• All the snacks and drinks that you could imagine
• Amazing support from Team Rasselbock and other runners

You’ll be able to pick up your race number at the event when you arrive. The forest will be open from 8am, but you won’t be able to grab your bib until 1:25pm Please allow yourself enough time to grab your number before the race briefing five minutes before the run begins.

We will have a fully stocked aid station at base camp full of all your favorite items, although if you are expecting energy tablets, gels, and supplements, you may need to bring your own as our aid station tends to lean towards the more “enjoyable fuel”. Imagine Fudge, cakes, cookies, and jelly babies along with all the savory alternatives.

You are more than welcome to bring your own food and drink to the aid station. We will have a separate table for these so please make sure that your bottles or items are clearly labeled so that no one takes them by accident!

We do not have any secure baggage areas on site but you are more than welcome to leave your bags at the base camp. Whilst we can’t guarantee that they’ll be safe, there will always be someone from Rasselbock around.

We would recommend trail shoes for this route! Also please make sure that you wear and bring with you adequate layers to keep yourself warm throughout the race and just as importantly, once you finish. Like all of our events going forward, we will be operating a bring your own bottle policy. We will not be supplying plastic cups or drinks receptacles at this event so that we can cut down on waste and do our part to help the environment. You will be required to bring your own water bottle, collapsable cup, or similar to the event. We will still have an array of liquids available for you to top up your bottles with at our well-stocked aid station!

The event will be taking place on and around a working forest that will still be open to the public. Runners will not have the right of way and we will need to be considerate to all the other users of the area, be it walkers, cyclists, dog walkers, and children when passing through any of the “activity areas”
