Cheshire’s family-friendly muddy obstacle course in aid of NSPCC

Children’s charity the NSPCC is calling on families in Cheshire to sign up to the Lidl Mudder Challenge at Cholmondeley Castle, Malpas, on September 10 and 11.

Lidl Mudder 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.

Janette Drew, NSPCC Community 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.

“A child contacts Childline every 25 seconds and it costs just £4 to answer their call for help. You could help us be there for children when they feel they have no one else to turn to.”

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 our funding, we help children who’ve been abused to rebuild their lives, we protect children at risk, and we find the best ways of preventing child abuse from ever happening. So when a child needs a helping hand, we’ll be there. When parents are finding it tough, we’ll help. When laws need to change, or governments need to do more, we won’t give up until things improve.

Our Childline service provides a safe, confidential place for children with no one else to turn to, whatever their worry, whenever they need help. Children can contact Childline 365 days a year.

Our free NSPCC Helpline provides adults with a place they can get advice and support, share their concerns about
a child or get general information about child protection. Adults can contact the Helpline 365 days a year.
