Hundreds of Hawke's Bay kids participate in the junior Tough Guy and Tough Gal Challenge.
The challenges are one of New Zealand's largest mud run series.
Havelock North Primary student Lily McLaughlin has taken on the junior Tough Guy and Tough Gal challenge for the second year in a row - and topped it off by raising the most money nationwide, for the challenge's chosen charity Ronald McDonald House.
The junior challenge gives primary and intermediate-aged kids a chance to participate in a mud run tailored especially for their skill set.
Competitors take on a 1.5km or 3km muddy obstacle course consisting of swamp crossings, water crossing, net climbing, crawling under obstacles running through native bush trails, tunnels, jumping over hurdles and up climbing frames.
