There’s still time to take advantage of early discount prices for the next Muddy Trials run – book before the end of June and save cash.

Hundreds of runners of all ages will be getting down and dirty at Craufurdla­nd Estate on Sunday, September 25 as they take on the world’s muddiest race – Muddy Trials.

Sign up for the challengin­g 5k and 10k courses before June 30 and

enjoy discount entry prices – find more details and enter online at http:// www. muddytrial­s. co. uk.

The courses around the estate take runners along roads, tracks, cross country – and rivers, streams, thick mud, and deep trenches. Muddy Trials more than lives up to its billing as the World’s Muddiest Race.

For kids there’s the Muddy Mile – a chance for youngsters to get into the mud too.

Kids of all ages welcome ( with parental supervisio­n) over a short, but still extremely muddy course for little legs.

All finishers will receive a goody bag, and there are individual and team prizes on offer too.

Following the recent success, and extreme muddiness, of the ninth Muddy Trials mud run at Craufurdla­nd Estate, near Kilmarnock, the Muddy Trials’ team have been rewarded for their efforts.

At the inaugural Obstacle Course Racing Scotland awards, the Craufurdla­nd team were awarded the ‘ Best for Mud’ accolade, beating all other mud run events in Scotland, including Tough Mudder, the largest mud running event race north of the border.

Simon Houison Craufurd, MD at Craufurdla­nd Estate, said: “We are over the moon. Ayrshire gets a lot of rain, which means lots of mud and now we even have a trophy to prove it.”
