Mad Jack's 5

Mad Jack's 5 is an approximately 5-mile off-road race held at Attingham Park near Shrewsbury, UK. The course is relatively flat and fully marked, featuring a mix of pasture land with cattle, sheep, and deer, as well as wooded areas with natural obstacles like fallen trees. Runners encounter several wet and marshy sections, culminating in a unique challenge called "The Pond," where participants wade through cold, muddy water about half a meter deep just before the finish.

The event has a capacity of 500 runners aged 16 and over, offers bespoke medals designed by local college students, and is supported by numerous marshals to ensure safety. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
