The event takes place at Herrington Country Park in Sunderland. It is a Pretty Muddy 5k obstacle course organised by Cancer Research UK on Saturday 27 June 2026. The available distances include the Pretty Muddy 5k.

The course follows the park paths with sections of tarmac and gravel, and some stretches on grass. The route is slightly undulating. The start line is located on the field adjacent to the children's play area.

Separate Pretty Muddy Kids events are available for younger children at other events.
