One of the world's dirtiest sporting events noooo: not eyes:
The Maldon Mud Race was originally due to take place on 28 December but had to be postponed due to the extreme cold conditions.
Around 250 runners will tackle the 500-yard (457m) course across the bed of the River Blackwater.
The obscure Maldon Mud Race started in the 1970s when regulars of the Queen’s Head pub ran across the river to drink from a barrel of beer and then back to be hosed down by the landlady
Why , why , why , why ,why ?

People mostly do things like this to raise money for charity.
One could equally ask why anyone would dress up as a hippo and run a marathon.
So that my dear Miss D is why.

I appreciate that but this does not appear to be for charity ....just for the hell of it. Because they can I guess - your kind of philosophy ;)

I know Maldon well. Lovely place, nice people etc.
