Exeter charity workers are urging women to fight dirty when it comes to conquering cancer - by signing up now for an exciting new event from Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.
Ruth Chamings, 28, who manages Exeter Race for Life and volunteer Maxine Bateman, 28, (pictured) stood proud together, donned in mud war paint and battle headdress to beckon ladies of the city to join them.
Pretty Muddy is a women-only, non-competitive 5k obstacle course – with added mud. It will take place for the first time in the city at Westpoint Exeter on Saturday, July 25.
The amazing Richard James is bringing it home this Thursday with his brilliant set of recent and classic covers. He is a massive favourite with the Artigiano set and whether your sitting in or out, drinking wine or craft beer, eating artisan pizzas or sharing boards of cheese, it promises to be a massive night of music and fun!
