Mud Run’s Way Ahead for Rowcroft Hospice

News Release / 27.05.2015

Way Ahead has muddied the waters for Rowcroft Hospice and they couldn’t be more pleased!

Registration for this year’s Mud Run is now open and the organisers, Way Ahead, are using the event to raise money and the profile of The Rowcroft Hospice.  Along with making a donation, they are encouraging participants to raise sponsorship for the local hospice so the more people who sign up from across the area, the better it will be for Rowcroft!

The Mud Run (now in its 3rd year) is an off road trail race over 5K or 10K and apart from the obvious mud, runners can expect to encounter small natural and man made obstacles along the way – including scramble nets, balance beams, wading and the pirate ship to name a few!  It is once again being held at The River Dart Country Park on Sunday 27th September 2015 and participants can enter either as an individual or get a team together and tackle it in numbers!

New for this year, is a smaller version of the Mud Run, for under 16’s – a distance of approximately 2km – a shorter distance, but just as many obstacles and fun!

Debbi Shotton, Community Fundraising Officer at Rowcroft Hospice, said: “We’re very excited about the Mud Run and to be supported by Way Ahead in this way.  The race is such a fun event and the funds raised through registration and sponsorship will be spent on providing vital services to people living with life-limiting illnesses and support to their loved ones.”

Phil Way of Way Ahead said “This is a unique event providing fun and challenge in a beautiful setting alongside the River Dart on the edge of Dartmoor. The interest has been phenomenal with entries well above expectations. We are pleased to be supporting Rowcroft through this event and are sure people will have a great experience whilst raising money for a good cause.”

Every participant will get an event T-shirt and memento for finishing, plus free hot showers, parking and free spectator entry to The River Dart Country Park.
