Nearly 600 runners have signed up for the mud-tastic 5km run - and this year will be going face-to-face with brand new obstacles.

Letchworth-based Garden House Hospice Care chief executive Sue Plummer said: "I am really looking forward to taking part again this year and would encourage people who are thinking about signing up to come along and get muddy with us.

"It's a great day for everyone and makes such a difference to local people who need our care and support."

Online entries close at midnight tonight, which is the final time you can save £5 on your entry fee.
