Norse Challenge, next month's Viking-themed extreme 10k obstacle course in Northumbria,
has chosen Manchester-based children’s cancer research centre, KidsCan as its official
charity partner.

The event takes place on 28 July and already close to 50 Viking-themed participants
expect to raise over £4,000 for the charity.

They will have to traverse more than 20 obstacles, including a "UK record breaking
150 ft mudslide".

[Norse Challenge](http://www.norsechallenge.co.uk) co-founder, Keith Turner, said:"
We want the first Norse Challenge to support a children’s charity with a strong 
heritage, and one whose work makes a significant positive impact upon the communities
it aims to serve. We are delighted to be affiliated with [KidsCan](http://www.kidscan.org.uk),
and hope people will dig deep to ensure our event raises a substantial amount for
a great charity."
