Sydney Mud Run 2014

Overview

Not your typical fun run, the Sydney Mud Run lets 6000 runners and thrill-seekers get mud-soaked for a cause. The event features a slippery, obstacle-ridden course where victims — ahem, participants — slide, crawl, jump, wade and even belly flop through mud over a 7km course. There's man-made mud pits and natural bog holes — even a 70m mud slide.

“The funds raised will contribute to vital cancer research, prevention programs and support services for cancer patients and their families,” said Rory Alcock from charity partner, the Cancer Council NSW. With this fun and active event, the organisation has set the challenge of beating last year's fundraising amount of $54,000.
