Prizes will be awarded to fastest individuals (male and female) and the Teams with the fastest finish time on each course plus some spot prizes for fancy dress and general prizeworthiness.

It is up to the teams themselves whether to race separately or as a group (Our recommendation) as mutual assistance and encouragement at obstacles is actively encouraged and should prove useful to the team's speed around the course. All members of teams must all complete either the 1 lap Muckers or 2 lap Serious Muckers courses to be included in the official team rankings. If team members wish to compete as individuals they may of course do so and all participants will recieve an individual ranking do so but the team will be ranked when the 3rd team member crosses the line.

Please register with the same team name to ensure you will be in with a chance of the coveted Champion Muckers or Champion Serious Muckers Team Title.

Prizes will be awarded to fastest individuals (male and female) and the teams with the fastest finish time on each course plus there will be some spot prizes for fancy dress and general prizeworthiness.
