THE RUN
The event is held over 2 days and is open from 9.30am - 3.00pm. You can choose which day to run, or run on both days!
​
The route is around 6km with 15+ obstacles and should be manageable for most. The Dorset Mud Run is a fun run and we want you to enjoy it!
​
Some of our obstacles are tough and you might need a helping hand but if there are any you are uncomfortable with simply do 25 press up forfeit and skip! When in doubt - leave it out!
​​
WHEN DO I RUN?
For safety and for your enjoyment we do not let everyone run at once and will release start waves every 15 minutes.
​
When you book your ticket you have the option to choose your time, so if you're running with a friend or as a team make sure you have the same slot on the same day or book via our team option.
​
Time choices are on a first come first serve basis so the later you leave buying your ticket, the less options there might be left!
​
YOU WILL NEED TO ARRIVE 30 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR ALLOTTED TIME TO ALLOW FOR REGISTRATION
