The Farm Mud Run
Our Farm Mud Run is a 1.5km mulit lap obstacle course for families and kids and new for 2019 we have a wave session for you and your family to run with your dog! The Farm Mud Run is located across our farms in Colchester and Basildon! The course passes through our fields with lots of farm obstacles, bogs, straw bales, mud and fields for children to have fun over.
The Farm Mud Run is ideal for families and we advise that our mud runs are best suited to children over the age of 4. Parents or responsible adults must take part with children under 10 years old and therefore must purchase a ticket. Everyone, all children and adults participating in The Farm Mud Run must purchase a ticket.
The inspiration for the Farm Mud Run came from the fun families have at our Corn Mazes and Pumpkin Patches.
We wanted to create something for children that gave them an opportunity to experience mud and obstacles on our farm that their families could join in with too. So that's exactly what we have done!! The Farm Mud Run is the ultimate children's playground with 1.5km of obstacles, mud and fun on our farms!
DOGS
New for 2019 is our Doggy Mud Run! We have a session dedicated to friendly dogs who love getting muddy and their owners! Session 4 at Basildon is for dogs and runners to enjoy.
Please note the dogs are only allowed to take part in the specific dedicated session they are NOT allowed and will be turned away from taking part in earlier sessions which are just for runners.

YOUR FEEDBACK
We LOVE our Farm Mud run so it's great to hear that you do too!
"Just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful event! By the time we started running you all must have been exhausted, cold and rather soggy - thank you for battling through that and making our experience a thoroughly enjoyable (if squelchy) one! My daughter had a lovely time and whilst I may not be popular for all the washing, her friends and parents had a great time too.
Just wanted to make sure you realised how much your enthusiasm and hard work was appreciated - thank you!"
