Competitors take part in the annual Maldon Mud Race, a charity event to race across the bed of the River Blackwater in Essex, UK on June 2, 2024. The race originated in 1973, with a dare being given by a local resident to the landlord of the Queens Head public house, which stands on the Hythe Quay in Maldon, challenging him to serve a meal on the saltings of the Rivers Blackwater dressed in a dinner jacket. The challenge was accepted and carried out, resulting next year in a bar being opened on the saltings. (Photo by Gareth Fuller/PA Images via Getty Images)
