Rotary ‘mud run’ takes place

The Rotary Club of Orkney held a special Mud and Obstacle Fun Run on the outskirts of Kirkwall today, Thursday.

The fundraising event saw runners start at the Rugby Club in Kirkwall before navigating a wet and wild route through Corse Farm, via Muddisdale Road and the footpath that runs beside Liberator Drive.

At Corse Farm the runners had to negotiate a number of obstacles through two muddy and wet fields, before heading back to the race’s starting point at the rugby club.

With a small entry fee, proceeds from the event will be donated to local causes in connection with the Rotary Club, and participants were encouraged to fundraise further through sponsorship.
