Why not rise to the challenge and join the throngs of determined people who enter the Mad March Mare and battle against all the elements to get to the finish line! Battle against the earth ... our wooded zone will have you climbing up and down huge ravines. You will ascend and descend over 500 metres. Battle against the wind... our venue can virtually guarantee that you will be fighting against that Northumberland wind at some point. Struggle through the freezing cold water, (there will be lots of cold muddy water for you to endure!). And finally, as you might expect, when you mix earth and water together, you get mud, so you will get muddy! ~ very muddy!!

If you want to get your heart pumping and waistline shrinking, you'll see how our obstacle course will fit the bill perfectly! It's really challenging but great fun too.
The emphasis is on finishing rather than achieving the best time, so you don't need to be a super competitive gym junkie to take part.
Why not get a team together? You can then draw on the support of friends when the going gets tough ... which it invariably does! Find out more
On the 10k course, there are 35 natural and man made obstacles that you will need to wade through, climb over, crawl through or navigate around! We are at a Racecourse, so we have fences to jump, slides with a twist, mountains of hay bales, tunnels to conquer, waterfalls to climb and some surprises too!!
We do have a heart though, so when you finish the course, we will make sure that you have the chance to celebrate your amazing achievement by opening up the fantastic facilities at Hexham Racecourse for you to enjoy. When you finish, we will provide you with a hot drink and snacks to give you a quick energy hit. Then you can change out of your fancy dress outfit. What! ... you aren’t going to wear fancy dress? ... shame! ... no worries ... no matter what you wear, it won’t resemble what you started in!!
If you are too tired to get changed, you can still join others for a well earned drink in the bar, no matter how muddy you are!
