YOUNGEST in South Ayrshire are being invited to get involved in a brand-new event with Cancer Research’s Race for Life.

Ayr has been chosen to host the new Pretty Muddy Kids for the first time at Ayr Racecourse on Saturday, September 29, taking place immediately before the women only Pretty Muddy challenge.

Pretty Muddy Kids is an obstacle course designed with added mud, scramble nets and space hoppers, with mud chutes and muddy pools.

Frances Kippax-Geary, Cancer Research UK’s Ayr Event Manager, said: “We can’t wait to bring Race for Life Pretty Muddy Kids to Ayr for the very first time. 

"The obstacle course promises plenty of fun, thrills and spills and we hope children will rally their friends, family and schoolmates to sign up and make a splash for Cancer Research UK.

“Race for Life events are not competitive, and children can complete the Pretty Muddy Kids course at their own pace - climbing, jumping, walking and laughing their way around. 

"Whether they plan to wade their way through the mud or make a big splash, every muddy step they take will help to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.

“Pretty Muddy Kids has all the fun and camaraderie of our much-loved Pretty Muddy events - but with an extra dose of muddy fun for the little ones. 

"It promises to be a fantastic event for all the family, so we urge people across the city to sign up right now.”

The entry fee for Pretty Muddy Kids is £10 and the event is open to boys and girls aged from five to 12-years-old and there is a minimum height requirement of 1.2m.

All children must be accompanied by a supervising adult who has free entry to the event.
