Dirty Rotten Scramble
Dirty Rotten Scramble is a mud run and extreme trail running series set in the South of England, established in 2015. Routes run over natural terrain and include mud, water crossings, hills and other on-course obstacles. Some ponds on course require short swims and there are options for non-swimmers using noodles and floats or a short running penalty loop instead.
Participants choose from multiple distances and complete courses that include a mix of laps and loops for the longest option. The 35K route is composed of one lap of the 12K route, two laps of the 6K route, then a final 12K lap; athletes must complete those segments in the correct order or they will be recorded as DNF. There is a published cut-off for starting the final lap of the 35K and athletes who do not meet that cut-off will not be allowed to continue.
Race entries are chip timed and finishers receive a medal. Events include free photos, water stations and on-course refreshments. Parking is free, there are on-site toilets, a key drop (not a bag drop), and food and drinks available at the finish. Hose pipes are available at the finish for washing down.
Age policy allows 13 year olds to run only when accompanied by an adult or guardian. Ticket transfers and deferrals are possible if requested within the event deadlines; deferrals carry a small admin fee and entry fees are non-refundable.
