Runners are taking on the world's largest inflatable 5k race for charity today.

Gung-Ho! - a huge blow-up fun run - has come to Mote Park in Maidstone for the first time.

The unique course was created by CBeebies presenter Alex Winters and includes a giant ball pit, a maze of foam, and an exciting rollercoaster sized slide aptly named Thriller.

Participants, who paid £30 to enter, received a medal and t-shirt once they crossed the finish line.
