Hundreds tackle Ironbridge 10k Mud Killer endurance test
Hundreds of mud lovers decided to forego the option of a quiet Sunday morning on the sofa to pit themselves against one of the toughest endurance events held in Shropshire.
The Ironbridge 10k Mud Killer involved numerous obstacles – and lots of mud – around the six-mile course on the edge of the Ironbridge Gorge at Buildwas.
More than 250 people took part in the inaugural event yesterday.
It was organised by Kickass Endurance and the course was designed by a Royal Marine physical trainer, firefighters and personal fitness trainers to test all-around strength, stamina, determination and team bonding.
Those taking part hailed it a huge success, with many taking to Facebook to praise the course and the organisation of the even – with many promising to return for any repeat of the event next year.
Daniel Dykes said: "Great event! Not a bad word to say. A big thumbs up to all involved."
Rob Hughes added: "Fab event, well done loved it see you at Weston Park."
Kerry-Ann Morris said: "Well done to every one who took part and well done to the guys who made course – was fab, thanks to all the volunteers who marshalled. Great day had by all."
The next event organised by Kick Ass Endurance will be the Weston Park 10k obstacle challenge on October 26.
