CHOCOHOLICS can climb, slide and jump their way across a new giant inflatable assault course at Cofton Park in pursuit of tasty treats at the finish line.
Birmingham St Mary's Hospice is challenging locals to take on its Chocolate 5k Obstacle Rush, which features 10 obstacles including the 'Pyramid Climb', 'Lifeboat Wobble' and 'Dive for Victory', on Saturday, September 8.
Hospice events manager Laura Nash said: "Whether you choose to run, jump or climb your way through the course, whatever your tactic, The Chocolate 5k Obstacle Rush is set to be a really fun and rewarding way to enjoy tasty, chocolate treats.
“This is our first ever chocolate-inspired obstacle course and we think it’s a fantastic way to do something amazing whilst raising vital funds for the hospice.
"Just £65 raised in sponsorship could make a big difference, helping someone to receive expert nursing care in the comfort of their own home.”
The course, which is supplied by Gadiator Events, is inspired by St May's Hospice's Chocolate 5k, which picked up bronze for the Best Fun Run category at the national Running Awards.
Alongside the course, there will also be music and street food and a chance to win prizes in a charity raffle.
The Chocolate 5k Obstacle Rush opens at 9am, with the race taking place from 11am to 3pm. Tickets cost £22 or £20.50 per person when booked as a team of five.
