NSPCC calls on families in Sussex to sign up to the ‘Lidl Mudder Challenge’

Lidl Mudder, which takes place at Holmbush Estate, Crawley Road, Faygate, RH12 4SE on September 24 and 25, is a kids-only version of Tough Mudder, the challenge which sees adults take on either the five or ten mile length, battling through a series of mud-filled obstacles and runs.

The one-mile kids’ course is packed full of obstacles to give children aged 5-12 the chance to work as a team, get a Lidl muddy and take on an adventure. The course features several obstacles including a mini Everest, mini Mud Mile and the Secret Agent Squeeze. At the end of the course, children will receive a Lidl Mudder headband.

Kate Hershkowitz, NSPCC Supporter Fundraising Manager said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Lidl once again for this fantastic annual event and working to make sure every child is heard. By signing up for the Lidl Mudder, you’ll be fundraising for our vital Childline service.

To sign up for the Lidl Mudder challenge, visit the Lidl Mudder website: toughmudder.co.uk/mud-obstacle-runs-for-kids/, and book a place for just £10, then start fundraising. Lidl Mudder tickets will not be available to purchase on the day. All tickets must be pre-booked.

Lidl Mudder is for children aged 5 -12, however, any child taking part must also be taller than 1.1m (3.5 foot). Parents and carers don’t need to run the course but a parent or guardian must be present at Lidl Mudder for the duration of their child’s run.

The NSPCC is the leading children’s charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. Using voluntary donations, which make up around 90 per cent of its funding, the charity helps children who’ve been abused to rebuild their lives, protect children at risk, and find the best ways of preventing child abuse from ever happening.

So when a child needs a helping hand, NSPCC will be there. When parents are finding it tough, the charity can help. When laws need to change, or governments need to do more, NSPCC won’t give up until things improve.
