Mad Jack's 5: Runners get muddy in 'mad' Shrewsbury race - with photos and video
Dozens of runners got muddy at an annual 'mad' run.
The Mad Jack's 5 is now in its 10th year and sees runners take on an unusual off-road course around Attingham Park.
This race is a joint venture between Shrewsbury Athletic Club and the National Trust, and covers five miles.
The course takes in a mixture of pasture land where cattle, sheep and deer can be seen as well as passing through wooded areas with obstacles like fallen trees.
Also included are several wet or marshy areas, which offered a particular challenge to runners given the wet weather over the weekend.
The last section of the run, which took place on Sunday takes in the “pond” where competitors run or wade through still water about half a metre deep.
This year, the first man and woman home were Matt Hall and Sara Wilhoit, both of Shrewsbury AC.
Information for competitors for next year's run will be online soon, with entry through Run Britain.
Organisers from the athletics club said: "A big thank you to the National Trust and all the sponsors without whom this race would not be possible."
