Youngsters across Cheshire are being invited to get muddy for a good cause when Reaseheath College in Nantwich hosts Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.
The “Pretty Muddy Kids” event will held for the first time at the college on Saturday September 15 alongside the traditional women-only Pretty Muddy Event.
Pretty Muddy Kids is a new obstacle course designed just for children – with added mud, thrills and spills.
From scramble nets and space hoppers to mud chutes and muddy pools, children will face a range of fun and muddy obstacles to crawl under, clamber over and charge through.
The Race for Life family of events also includes the traditional 5km Pretty Muddy course, which thousands of women will take part in at the same venue on Saturday September 15.
Money raised will help Cancer Research UK scientists find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease, helping save more lives.
Sarah Hunter, Cancer Research UK’s Reaseheath event manager, said: “We can’t wait to bring Race for Life Pretty Muddy Kids to Reaseheath for the very first time.
“The obstacle course promises plenty of fun, thrills and spills and we hope children will rally their friends, family and schoolmates to sign up and make a splash for Cancer Research UK.
“Race for Life events are not competitive and children can complete the Pretty Muddy Kids course at their own pace – climbing, jumping, walking and laughing their way around.
“Whether they plan to wade their way through the mud or make a big splash, every muddy step they take will help to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.”
One in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer at some stage in their lives, but the good news is more people are surviving the disease now than ever before.
Cancer survival in the UK has doubled since the early 1970s and Cancer Research UK’s work has been at the heart of that progress.
Sarah added: “Pretty Muddy Kids has all the fun and camaraderie of our much loved Pretty Muddy events – but with an extra dose of muddy fun for the little ones.
“It promises to be a fantastic event for all the family so we urge people across Warrington to sign up right now.”
Entry fee for Pretty Muddy Kids is £10.
The event is open to boys and girls aged 5 to 12 years old and there is a minimum height requirement of 1.2 metres.
All children must be accompanied by a supervising adult, who have free entry to the event.
