Children’s charity the NSPCC is calling on companies to take part in the ultimate team building exercise and sign up to Tough Mudder and help raise funds for the charity’s services.
The event takes place over two weekends in September, at Holmbush Farm near Crawley, West Sussex, and it’s not a race. More of an epic teamwork challenge.
With 10 Miles and 20+ obstacles (full version) or 5 miles, 13 obstacles (half version) the challenge will be stacked with old classics and brand-new obstacles. Featuring a range of mind-bending challenges to test your mental grit, you’re definitely going to need to rally a team to get you through this one.
This is often a sell-out event, but the NSPCC has places available for just £20, general entry price is normally £99+. We just ask that you each raise £350 to support our services for children.
Kate Hershkowitz, Community Fundraising Manager for Sussex, explained: “This is the original mud race and an incredibly messy but exhilarating experience. With so many obstacles to overcome, teamwork here is essential!
“Every penny raised will help go towards vital NSPCC services such as the Speak out Stay safe school service in Sussex and beyond. This free service teaches children about different types of abuse and what they can do if they are worried about anything, including speaking to a trusted adult or phoning Childline for support.”
Dates for the challenges are 22 September, and 29 and 30 September – both offer half and full distances.
