Today a gang of adventurous fundraisers are getting down and dirty for charity when almost 50 teams tackle the KM Assault Course Challenge.

Participants will take on balance beams, a water jump and tyre wall – and mud of course! – along the 530m track on Saturday, October 4.

Among the daring teams taking part are London Fancy Box, a leading European designer and manufacturer of luxury packaging, which is also sponsoring the event.

The company’s CEO Christopher Lawson said: “Our staff are actively involved in raising money and this year are very happy to be involved in the KM Assault Course Challenge.

“We are committed to supporting charities and we allocate 1% of our profits to a community fund which is distributed by a team of staff members.”

A star prize of £250 to spend at Bluewater shopping centre will go to the biggest individual fundraiser with other prizes awarded for best fancy dress and most successful fundraising team.

Organised by the KM Charity Team the event is also sponsored by Fairweathers Solicitors and takes place at Fowlmead Country Park.
