Get ready for some Muddy Good Fun!
Just 6 km but packed full of challenging and fun obstacles, winding through beautiful oak woodland, wading through ponds and getting very muddy, all while enjoying stunning views across the Dorset countryside.
The Dorset Mud Run is an experience full of laughter, fun and teamwork. Cheerful stewards will offer encouragement as you jump hurdles, swing over ditches, scramble up mud hills and crawl under cargo nets.
The final obstacle ‘Takeoff’, a giant water slide descending into a water trough, is a refreshing end to the course, and a chance to wash off all the mud!
All participants receive a free beer or soft drink and a Dorset Mud Run t-shirt as a welcome reward at the finishing line.
The event is held at the Stock Gaylard Estate near Sturminster Newton.

Pictures for The Beehive On Tour
This is an exhibition of portraits. It is being held to help raise the £1million needed to build a hydrotherapy pool for The Beehive Centre, a treatment and therapy centre in Dorset where adults with profound disabilities spend their weekdays. Every portrait is of someone who attends The Beehive, a therapy and activity centre in Dorset run by the charity Diverse Abilities. The people who go there have physical and learning disabilities, and for most of them it is the very first time anyone has ever drawn or painted them….
The exhibition roadshow also aims to increase the visibility of disability, and foster engagement.
Any donations will go towards a therapy pool at The Beehive, where people in Dorset who desperately need hydrotherapy can access, but this is a universal need. We hope that this project will lead the way on demonstrate that pools like this are desperately needed across the country.
