SUPPORTERS of St Margaret's Hospice are preparing to get Up, Down and Dirty running over hills and tackling a range of obstacles.

The sponsored event at Treborough on Sunday, October 28 offers a choice of Fun 5k, Tempting 10k and Filthy 15k routes.

It is sponsored by Western Power Distribution, whose apprentices renovated the charity's retail distribution warehouse and collected donations worth £65,000 earlier this year.

Sonia Bateman, events fundraiser at St Margaret’s, said: "We’re always trying to come up with new events where people can have a great time with friends and family while raising precious funds to help care for people across Somerset.

"After the amazing response to our Glitter Run this summer, we’re sure people will have just as much fun getting muddy at Up, Down and Dirty this autumn."
