Tasman School’s Muddy Buddy Adventure Fun Run is back! Get ready to get muddy and raise funds for Tasman School.

A full-on fun team event, Muddy Buddy is a local rite of passage, bringing together family members, school friends, sports teams, clubs, co-workers and special-interest groups to let loose and play. Run for fun or for competition. Creative, ECO-friendly team costumes are highly encouraged. Spot prizes are on offer. Hot food, coffee and ice creams are on the menu. Try your luck at the silent auction or meander through the white elephant stall. Wallow away your day at Muddy Buddy!

Recommended for ages 8+. Children under 8 years should be accompanied by an adult.

Bring your family, friends or work mates for a great day out in beautiful Tasman!

Please note the following:

Runners can choose to enter either one, two or three laps. All individual entries must run as a pair (or more), with each individual purchasing a separate ticket. Family tickets include 2 Adults & up to 4 Children (aged 17 years and under). A waiver of liability will be required to be signed prior to starting the race.

Muddy Buddy plans to go ahead regardless of the weather on the day. However, should the event not proceed for any reason, ticket purchases are non-refundable and will be treated as a donation to Tasman School.

Creative, ECO-friendly team costumes are highly encouraged!
Shoes – essentially an old pair - are compulsory due to sharp shells in the mud. These must be taped to your feet - shoe taping will be available on the day (gold coin koha donation).

Bring a towel to dry off after the event hose-off, and a spare change of clothes.

Caring For Our Inlet

The Moutere Inlet is a special place and Muddy Buddy is a unique opportunity to enjoy it. Environmental testing has been conducted on numerous occasions after our events and no lasting effects on waterways or wildlife have been found. We want to keep it that way.

Participants are strongly encouraged to go Eco with their costumes – compostable is best, recycled or reused helps too. Definitely no plastic please.

We’ll do our bit, with a huge team on hand to clear up after the event, and we thank you for playing your part in caring for our inlet by looking after your rubbish and going Eco.
