About Pretty Muddy
Pretty Muddy® Kids is a muddy obstacle course for children aged 6-12 (over 1.2m tall), held on the same day as our Pretty Muddy® events. The young fundraisers will climb, crawl and slide their way around the course at their own pace, accompanied by an adult who will run alongside them. The course is approximately 5k which is just over 3 miles, and there's no pressure to finish in a certain time.
On the day
Take part in a group or go solo
Take part as an individual or in a group and have fun raising money for life-saving research. You can walk, jog or run, going at your own pace, or lead the way as a Group Leader getting family, friends and colleagues involved! However you choose to Race, you will be helping to beat cancer.
Warm up with other participants
Get moving just before you begin your Race for Life event with a live and interactive warm up session.
Supporters and spectators welcome
Spectators are very welcome on the day to cheer you on! The more the merrier.
Soak up the atmosphere
After you've completed the course, why not make a day of it with other participants, friends and family, and have a picnic in the park.
While your entry fee covers the cost of your event, it's the money you raise that will fund vital research and see more people surviving cancer.

Street parking will be supervised and monitored by security acting on behalf of Cancer Research UK, we have also notified Humberside Police of the situation and will be cooperating with them to ensure minimal disruption. We recommend allowing extra time for your journey.
A limited number of disabled parking spaces will be available at Warners Health Club on Pickering Road, which would also be a recommended drop off area if required.

Although this course route is mostly flat and on grass, unfortunately we would advise that our Pretty Muddy event is unsuitable for wheelchairs, mobility aids and pushchairs due to the nature of the obstacles.
If spectating, the event site, course route and car park are all mostly on grass, so those with accessibility issues may require assistance on the uneven surfaces. Please be aware that in wet weather ground conditions on the grassed areas can deteriorate quickly.
Disabled Parking is available at Warners Health Club on Pickering Road.
Bring a water bottle
We want to make Pretty Muddy® as sustainable as possible by reducing our single use plastic consumption, so please bring your own reusable water bottle, already filled. We'll provide a water-refill solution that is cost-effective for the charity and environmentally-friendly.
Bring a change of clothes
If you’re getting Pretty Muddy®, remember to bring spare clothes and a towel. Check the facilities tab above to see what there is at your event. Unfortunately, there are no lockers, changing facilities or showers at the Race for Life events, so please bear this in mind and ask friends to look after your valuable belongings, clean clothes and towels.

Climb, crawl and slide your way around the course at your own pace. We want you to tackle every obstacle the best you can, but if you need to skip to the next one our marshals will be on hand to assist. Find out more about Pretty Muddy® obstacles.
