Big Brother, 'Survivor', 'Amazing Race' stars for charity mud run

Big Brother, Survivor and Amazing Race stars are among those who will participate in the first-ever 'Reality Mud Run'.

CBS has organised the 5k event in Irvine, CA on September 10 to raise funds for Survivor's 'Stand Up To Cancer' charity.

Survivor launched its partnership with Stand Up To Cancer last year. Survivor: Africa winner Ethan Zohn, who has won a battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma, serves as spokesperson.

"It's very rewarding to be able to use reality television as a platform to bring together my friends and raise money and awareness for cancer research," he said.

"The 'Reality Mud Run' is a perfect event to bring everyone together, cast members and fans of Survivor, The Amazing Race and Big Brother. This time we are competing for something greater - voting cancer off the planet."

Zohn added: "In the first year of collaborating, Survivor raised about $75,000 for Stand Up To Cancer, and I know we will continue to raise funds to honour those we have lost like Laura Ziskin and Jenn Lyon, and those who continue their battle today."

Zohn will be joined on the run by former Survivor stars including Jenna Morasca, Amanda Kimmel, Burton Roberts, Yau-Man Chan, Natalie Tenerelli, Phillip Sheppard, Chad Crittenden and Joel Klugda.

They will be joined by Amazing Race's Uchenna Agu, Megan Rickey, Cheynne Whitney, Alex Boylan and Dennis Frentsos, Big Brother's Will Kirby, and other former contestants.

The race begins at 8am on Saturday, September 10 at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, CA. The reality stars will run alongside members of the public. Full registration and sponsorship details are available at realitymudrun.com.
