Team Yardi Takes on the Tough Mudder 5K

Tough Mudder 2026

On May 9th, Team Yardi laced up their trainers, rolled up their sleeves, and threw themselves headfirst into the Tough Mudder 5K – mud, obstacles, and all. From the first obstacle to the last, it was a true team effort. There were helping hands extended at every wall, encouragement shouted across every muddy patch, and more than a few laughs along the way. The Tough Mudder is designed to be completed together, and that’s exactly how Team Yardi did it, while raising money for one of Yardi’s chosen charities, Free To Be Kids.

About Free To Be Kids

Tough Mudder 2026

Free To Be Kids supports particularly vulnerable children to begin to change their stories about who they are and who they can be. The charity helps children who have often grown up with significant adversity or hardship to more often feel proud of themselves and to experience feeling brave, adventurous, included and successful – often for the first time in a long time.

They do this through overnight adventures, nature-based residentials, Young Leader programmes, and mentoring support. Free To Be Kids works using the inherent power of the outdoors, animals, nature and self-expression – all of which are integral to the programmes they run. Children who’ve never left the city before get to experience meeting animals at the farm, building dens in the forest, standing on the beach for the first time, building rafts in teams to paddle across a lake, cooking together in groups, camping out under the stars, and a wide range of other activities all carefully designed to both broaden horizons, but also to scaffold the building of self-confidence, resilience, and trust in others.

Free To Be Kids aims to open up a sense of adventure, freedom and possibility for children who are struggling, whatever life’s circumstances. Above all, they believe that every child deserves to feel wanted, special, and valued, and to experience joy and adventure throughout their childhood. In turn, this translates to improved confidence, an ability to get on with others, and much richer emotional and mental health.

All of their projects are staffed by volunteers who give up their time for free to make a difference in the lives of others. For more information, visit freetobekids.org.uk.
