Maldon Mud Race 2003

Event Success

Congratulations to all those who completed the Maldon Mud Race. Despite the cold weather over 4‚000 people turned up to watch the event together with camera crews and press officers ensuring good coverage in national and local newspapers and on television. In fact press coverage got as far as been seen in Canada!‚ we are told.

The months of preparation by the Mud Race Committee proved to be very fruitful indeed‚ with the day progressing quite smoothly‚ and all the safety issues introduced helped to ensure that Competitors and Spectators alike enjoyed the day.

Winners

The race winner was Gareth Parr from Caterham‚ Surrey‚ and the first lady home was Sally Johnson from Heybridge Basin‚ Essex. For a more detailed results listing go to the Results page. The real winners however will be the charities‚ Essex Air Ambulance‚ Little Haven Children’s Hospice and ‘Buddies’‚ who collectively stand to benefit from donations and sponsorship of more than £10‚000.

All 150 places were taken up more than 2 weeks before the event. Unfortunately due to the ever increasing popularity of the event we were not able to accommodate everybody that wanted to take part. It was great to see competitors travel from around the UK to take part‚ including Brighton‚ Gillingham‚ London and Wellingborough. There were also entrants from Germany and Finland. In the team event we had Essex Police‚ Maldon Firefighters and Maldon Rugby Club.

Thanks

Our thanks to Maldon District Council‚ Chelmsford Sub-Aqua Club‚ St John Ambulance (Maldon)‚ Chelmsford Scouts‚ RAYNET‚ visiting Lions and Lionesses and a whole host of individuals who helped on the day.
