More than 500 runners ran, crawled and swam through mud at Parkwood Off Road Centre, Tong in the Pain Barrier Trail Race.
The competitors braved puddles, ponds, swamps, steep hills and ravines throughout the ten kilometre course.
From the elite to the fancy dress runners – including the Raving Roundhay River Runners, dressed in their best business suits – no one escaped the mud, which was made thicker by the pouring rain.
Daniel Naylor won the men’s race in 54.14 minutes, with Emma Dunkley taking the women’s title in 1hr 10min.
All finishers were rewarded with a Pain Barrier medal, T-shirt and goodie bag.
Results – Men’s: 1 Daniel Naylor 54:14; 2 Gareth Hurst 55:35; 3 Colin Walker 55:45. Women’s: 1 Emma Dunkley 01:10:49; 2 Fran Dolata 01:13:31; 3 Rebecca Zserdicky 01:16:35.
