Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
Get ready for an unforgettable day out as you climb, crawl and slide your way around the Pretty Muddy® 5k obstacle course! Sign up as a group with friends and family, or go solo and join hundreds of people on the day. There's no pressure to finish in a certain time, so take it your own pace, get muddy and enjoy the atmosphere. However you take part, you're helping to beat cancer.
The start and finish are on grass. The course is within a showground that is fairly flat, the terrain is mainly grass with some paths throughout the course.

The start is on a section of grass within the showground, just a short walk from the on-site car park.
The finish is on the same section of grass within the showground as the start, just a short walk from the on-site car park.
