Mudfest - November 2026

Fri 27th November 2026

Entrance gate made of stacked logs at The National Forest. A sign with a tree logo and "The National Forest" text is on the left. The path leads through a uniquely shaped archway, showcasing natural elements and a bright, clear sky overhead. A muddy forest trail with a yellow signpost featuring a black arrow pointing forward. Tall trees line both sides of the path, and fallen leaves and branches are dispersed on the ground. The path is quite wet and muddy, indicating recent rainfall. Three intricately decorated circular pendants with colorful designs are set against a white background. The pendants display vibrant patterns of dots and swirls in various hues, including shades of green, yellow, orange, and brown, with small bead-like embellishments. A tranquil scene of a wooden railing overlooking a calm pond surrounded by lush greenery under a gray, overcast sky. Raindrops create ripples on the water's surface, enriching the serenity of the natural landscape. A piece of mixed media art featuring a circular green disc with a white, abstract deer head design in the center, adorned with small decorative elements. In the background, there is a black silhouette of a deer’s head against a textured, green and yellow backdrop.

Organiser's Description

We’ll be heading back to the lovely Rosliston Forest again in for a stomp around in the mud with our special short format.

The runs will be a little shorter than usual, only 4 hours long on a 4km loop, but you can still expect the full Rasselbock experience on the day! You may attempt to complete as many laps as possible over the full four hours, or you may choose to finish just one, either way, you will be a finisher and receive your bespoke medal* when you tap out.

If you're after the Rasselbock love and care, but everything on a smaller scale with fewer runners around then this has to be the event for you.

Really enjoyable race and my first attempt at this type of event with a time limit rather than a set distance. I love running in the rain and mud so this was perfect for me. The organisation for this lowkey Friday afternoon event was spot on and the aid station buffet was great as well. I highly recommend.

This is one of the most fun runs I have ever been to. The race set up from start to finish was perfect. There were determined fast runners and those just there for fun but they all went with the same attitude. All runners supported each other and the run directors were amazing too. As for the race snacks, I would say it was more of a buffet. Everything from sweets and gels to homemade cakes. I can’t wait to go again next year. Thank you.
