ADVENTURE seekers will be eagerly awaiting the launch of "The Mudder" at Rangitikei Farmstay on September 19.
This event, previously known as the "Mud Muster", will largely follow the same proven course as 2013 and 2014 but with some improvements.
"As with all successful events, the key is to keep tweaking it so the entrants have something new and exciting. That way they will go away and tell all their friends about it as well," event manager Andrew Stewart said.
The course is based on Andrew and Kylie Stewart's sheep and beef farm 12km from Marton. It is largely based around natural obstacles rather than man-made ones.
"The obstacle that most have found toughest in previous years is a bog crawl based on a natural spring. The mud turns to gloop after the first people have been through it, making it a great natural challenge," Stewart said.
