Join Team Wilder and Get Muddy for Wildlife!

Sunday 21st April 2024

Join us for the muddiest, and most hilarious 5k, 10k or 20k of your life, whilst raising vital funds for Somerset wildlife. 

The 5k - you'll combat over 20 obstacles, crawling, ducking, climbing and hurdling your way through this muddy obstacle course as you slip and slide to the end. We have 5, FREE places available for those of you pledging to raise £150 for Somerset Wildlife Trust.

The 10k Endurance - After tackling the first 5k, your endurance will be tested with a cross country run. Not only will you be balancing on ropes and lumbering logs, but your upper strength will be pushed to its limits when having to swing across the hand ladder. Prepare yourself for "Mud, Sweat and Tears!"

The 20k Ultimate - double the trouble to put you through your paces - not for the faint hearted! Manoeuvre through the mud, test your agility over the ‘A’ frame, show your flexibility as you navigate through the web of ropes and demonstrate your stamina as you run through the fields and rhynes. Completing this 20k you really will have earned the title ‘Mud Master.’

 

Organised by:

Organised by the Weston-super-Mare Lions (with all proceeds going to support local charities).

How your fundraising helps

Being part of Team Wilder is so much more than getting muddy, it is your chance to save wildlife for the future, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. 

It costs us almost £2,000 a day to manage all of our reserves, so every penny you raise will really help our wonderful wildlife here in Somerset.
