Dirty Day is Coming to Forest Facility

... And It's Bringing the Legends Back!

If you were lucky enough to experience Dirty Weekend, you'll know it wasn't just an obstacle course... It was an adventure. A day filled with mud, laughter, teamwork, huge obstacles and stories you'll still be telling years later.

Now, for one special day this August, that legendary spirit returns to the Burghley Estate.

Welcome to Dirty Day.

Created by the incredible team at Rat Race in partnership with Forest Facility, Dirty Day celebrates everything people loved about Dirty Weekend while introducing a new generation of adventurers to one of the UK's most iconic obstacle course locations.

The Return of the Classics.

For one day only, some of the legendary Dirty Weekend obstacles are making a comeback.

Alongside over 60 obstacles, you'll tackle a specially designed 4-mile woodland course packed with climbing, crawling, balancing, scrambling and, of course... plenty of mud!

Whether you're reliving old memories or discovering these obstacles for the very first time, it's an experience you won't forget.

Choose Your Challenge....Dirty Day has something for everyone.

Whether you're looking for a fun family adventure or an epic personal challenge, you can choose the experience that suits you best.

• Family Wave – A fun-filled 1.5-mile adventure suitable for children aged 6+, packed with obstacle fun but designed with younger explorers in mind.

• Adult & Teen 4-Mile Course – Take on the full obstacle experience.

• Double Lap Challenge – Fancy pushing yourself? Complete multiple laps and earn the special retro Dirty Weekend medal.

  
  

The best part? There's no pressure.

·        No finish-time targets.

·        No elite athlete requirements.

Just adventure, laughter and a finish line you'll be proud to cross.

Make a Day of It.... Why stop once you've crossed the finish line?

Forest Facility will also be opening its adventure activities throughout the day, so you can make the most of your visit. From zip lines and laser tag to axe throwing, archery, and spy hunts, there's plenty to keep the whole family entertained before or after your Dirty Day adventure.

Adventure That Gives Back

One of the things we love most about Dirty Day is that it's about more than just having fun.

The event helps support Project Jungle, Rat Race's rainforest conservation initiative, helping to protect important areas of rainforest for future generations. So every muddy step is helping make a difference far beyond our own woodland.

Why We Love Dirty Day

Forest Facility wouldn't exist without the incredible legacy of Dirty Weekend.

Those amazing woodland obstacles, the spirit of adventure and the unforgettable memories inspired everything we've created here today.

Dirty Day gives us the chance to celebrate that history while welcoming new families, friends and adventurers into the forest.

Whether you're coming back to relive the glory days or experiencing the course for the very first time, we can't wait to welcome you.

Bring your trainers.

Bring your sense of humour.

And don't forget a towel...

Trust us, you'll need one.
