Mud, glorious mud, and Sport Wanganui would like us all to be knee deep in it.
Registrations are open for the McDonald's Mud Muster a fun "mud run" being held at the Rangitikei Farmstay on the Tyrone Farm in the Turakina Valley in October.
Competitors can enter either a 5km or 10km course, which will take them over, around and, most importantly, through rolling hills, ponds, streams, logs, mud and more.
In addition to the beast of Mother Nature, there will be man-made obstacles in place for participants, who can expect anything that will have them climbing, crawling or pushing through.
The event is being run by Sport Wanganui in partnership with Rangitikei Farmstay, owned by Kylie and Andrew Stewart. The property has been in the Stewart family for 110 years. McDonald's Wanganui is naming sponsor.
