Britain's biggest obstacle course is coming to Brands Hatch - a 5k fun run incorporating a giant ball pit, a foam filled labyrinth, and a slide taller than three double-decker buses.

News Shopper:

The Gung-Ho! charity run is the brainchild of CBeebies presenter Alex Winters, who wants kids and adults alike to take on the course and the 200ft-long Thriller slide.

Over 500 people have signed up for the challenge, which is taking place at the racing track in June.

Mr Winters, 39, said: "Gung-Ho! is a great opportunity for people to have great fun and raise money for important causes at the same time – and anyone can do it.

The giant ball pit

"At our event in Windsor last year a disabled girl went round the course on a tricycle and her dad helped her over the obstacles. That sums up everything Gung-Ho! is about."

The dad-of-three added: "It doesn't matter about your level of fitness – this event is for everyone and we want to make it bigger and better than ever.
