Adventure Mud Run 2026

Monday 30th November to Friday 4th December 2026

Finals Saturday 5th December 2026 – 09:30 registration 10:00 am start

Does your class love adventure, mud, water, and outdoor challenges? Then look no further!

This December, Birch Hall Adventures is proud to host its 10th Annual Adventure Mud Run, an action-packed event designed to get children active, outdoors, and having fun. Our goal has always been to create memorable experiences that encourage teamwork, resilience, and a love of physical activity in the natural environment.

We are once again opening our fields to welcome Year 5 and Year 6 pupils for an epic 1.5km mud run obstacle course packed with excitement from start to finish. Along the route, participants will tackle a variety of thrilling obstacles, with a new challenge waiting approximately every 150 metres.

Pupils will compete in mixed pairs consisting of one boy and one girl (for example, a Year 5 boy and a Year 6 girl). Many of the obstacles are designed to test communication, cooperation, and teamwork, making this much more than just a race.

Most pairs should complete the course in 20 minutes, battling through mud, water, and obstacles along the way. Teams with the fastest times will earn the best chance of securing a place in the grand final and competing for Adventure Mud Run glory.

Get ready to climb, crawl, splash, scramble, and conquer the ultimate winter adventure!
