This great event in the Maldon calendar is now in its 5th year.
2022 saw the successful running of our new course which was well received by both those new to the evant and our previous entrants.
We are also very pleased that our wonderful local sponsors continue to support this event
So, we are looking to have a fantastic run in 24th September 2023.
This event is organised by the team from Top Day Events.
Top Day Events is family run by husband and wife team James and Rose. James is our resident Ultra runner and triathlon coach, and having raced across the UK and Europe he knows what he likes and doesn’t like in events. Rose is the planner keeping everything organised.
"We are passionate about making sure that everything we enjoy experiencing, from the events we ourselves enter, is passed onto you to help make your race, the perfect race. No matter what race of ours you enter you can guarantee they are all planned to the same high Top Day standard".
