‘Our Myddle Muddle Fun Run is a community highlight’
Beginning in 2012, our multi-terrain country race has been held annually as a fundraiser for Myddle Primary School – and has become a popular spring running event in north Shropshire. What started as a fancy dress fun run, organised by then PTA members Rachel Smith and Val Everall as a way to raise funds for school supplies, has since become our key fundraiser. It attracts a large following, with runners now competing over 10K, 5K or one-mile distances on a circular course. Last year, more than 300 people
took part and we raised more than £2,800. This year we’re raising money for playground improvements. Entry fees range from £2 for the one-mile run to £15 for the 10K (or £3 and £20 respectively for entry on the day). People love the run because it
goes across fi elds, along lanes, over 6 SPRING 2024 FundEd
hilltops and through pine and oak woodland and it has a brilliant community atmosphere. It’s very relaxed and there’s no pressure to run the whole way – you can run, jog, walk or crawl. Fancy dress is encouraged on the one-mile fun run – the shorter distance is a great way for younger or less confi dent runners to get involved. It passes fi elds of alpaca, horses, cows and the legendary Myddle ‘castle’. Anyone under 12 can join the 5K event if accompanied by an adult. Everyone who completes their run
is awarded a medal. Prizes are awarded to the top three fi nishers in each event. We also sell cake and refreshments at the end. We’re always on the lookout for
local businesses who want to get behind the event with sponsorship. It is purely volunteer-powered and marshalled by members of
