Mud Madness - Chatelherault

Mud Madness takes place at Chatelherault Country Park on 4 October 2026 and is organised by South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture. The event includes muddy obstacles, water hazards near the River Avon, slides, and a dip in the river.

The event offers the following distances:

• 1 km mini mud run (age 4 to 11)
• 5 km family mud run (primary age and above; under 8s to be accompanied)

The 5 km event is run in staggered waves every 10 minutes. The 1 km children’s route is on the lawn with marshals at each obstacle; adults may jog around the taped route to cheer or assist small children if needed. The course will be marked with signs, tape, and arrows and staffed by marshals in high visibility clothing. First aid assistance is available from marshals.
