- Maldon_mud_race abstract "The Maldon Mud Race is a fun race held in spring (originally in December or January) at Promenade Park in Maldon, Essex, England, in which competitors compete to be the first to complete a 400 metre dash over the bed of the River Blackwater. The race is organised by the Lions & Rotary clubs of Maldon and raises money for charity.The race began in 1973 when a regular of a local pub was challenged to serve a meal on the riverbank dressed in a tuxedo. It became a race across the river to a waiting barrel of beer, to consume a pint of beer and race back. The barrel of beer has long disappeared and the race has become a charity event organised by the Rotary and Lions clubs of the town and Maldon District Council, with many participants wearing fancy dress. The event is watched by thousands of spectators and raises tens of thousand of pounds for charity.The race can only take place when the tide is low enough to allow participants to run across safely. Participants start from one bank and make their way through water to the other side, negotiate 200 metres of mud along the river and then return to the original riverbank. In 2009, the race was run twice, on 4 January and 27 December, after the 2008 event was postponed due to high tides. About 250 competitors took part in the December 2009 event.".
