Pretty Muddy® Kids is a fun-packed muddy obstacle course for children aged 6-12 (over 1.2m tall). The young fundraisers climb, crawl and slide their way around the course at their own pace, accompanied by an adult. The course is approximately 5k which is just over three miles, and there's no pressure to finish in a certain time. Get ready to get muddy on an unforgettable day out.
Our Exeter Pretty Muddy route follows a 5k distance around the famous Westpoint Arena showground. Starting in the centre of the site it follows internal roads into a number of different show fields looping up and round two halves of the site. In the final 2k there is a cross country section amongst a short wooded area before a final field and tarmac loop back to the start, which finishes on grass. It includes a total ascent of 41.6m across the complete route, covering a mixture of tarmac pathways, roads and grass.
