TICKETS are now available for a popular mid Essex mud race which raises money for charities.

This year's Maldon Mud Race was cancelled due to organisers' worries surrounding Covid-19.

These charities include the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance, Farleigh Hospice, Maldon and District Sea Cadets, Action for Family Carers, Brainwave, Little Havens Hospice, The Cinnamon Trust, Daniel Wilkinson Foundation and David Randall Foundation.

Its been confirmed the race will be back on April 24 2022 - and you can enter now.

People can also enter as a team of up to 8 members.
