A mud run event is offering discounted tickets for participants who choose to fundraise for a charity supporting disabled people in Dorset.

Runners are challenged to take on 6km of obstacles including swinging over ditches, a scramble up mud hills, crawling under cargo nets and wading through ponds in the Dorset Mud Run

It will be held at Stock Gaylard near Sturminster Newton on Saturday, May 18.  

This year the organisers of the Dorset Mud Run have chosen Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity to support this year. Every penny raised will go towards supporting more than 1,600 children and adults with physical disabilities across Dorset, and their families.

Participants taking part for Diverse Abilities will receive a discount for entry, as well as the charity’s support with their fundraising.  Its services are extensive including Langside School, Coping with CHAOS, The Beehive Centre and an Advice Team.

The charity was also supported in last year’s mud run.

Discounted entry is £20 per person (normal price £39).

Participants receive a Mud Run t-shirt, Diverse Abilities goody bag and a free bear or soft drink at the end of the race.
