A NEW mud run event will come to St Helens next year giving competitors the chance to take on rugby league legends including former Saints ace Paul Sculthorpe.
Rhino Gladiator will launch in August 2016 at Shoots Delph Farm, in Moss Bank to honour the region’s proud rugby legacy.
The event will feature 10k, 5k and family-friendly 2k challenges, and the fun two-day event will be suitable for a variety of ages and abilities.
As well as enduring a range of challenging obstacles and plenty of mud, participants will also take on a team of Rhino Gladiators, headed up by Paul Sculthorpe.
“I’m proud to be leading the team of gladiators for the first Rhino Gladiator event next year," said Paul.
“It’s great to be involved in an event that all of the family can be a part of, as well as celebrating the amazing talent in the region - it’s no accident that the area is known as rugby’s heartland.”
Located at various stages of the course, former Rugby League stars and some of the region’s fittest individuals will form the ultimate team of 20 gladiators, aimed to either help or hinder runners' progress.
Rhino Gladiator takes place on Saturday, August 13 and Sunday 14 August 2016.
The Rhino Gladiator 2k is suitable for ages eight and upwards. Early bird pricing currently starts at £15. For more information visit www.rhinogladiator.com
