When starting out the 2008 to get the 2009 Wirral Egg run Event running it seemed so easy the team got together although a little challenged by the previous year’s events we took on board the police and the councils EAG teams comments and got the run started.

With the council and police onboard we started organising the event.

We aimed to make the even more professional and ensure that the safety of the riders and of the spectators was of most importance.

January Landed and unfortunately we had yet another tragedy with the loss of Matt Rose from the team he had ran the run for the previous 14 years.

The Wirral Egg Run Committee team carried on sorting out the event in memory of Matt like the previous year they had done for Simon.

The Police set us some very strict challenges including the confirmation that all businesses knew that event was going on so there were no complaints from the businesses on the route, That we had to have 220 stewards on the run and that they had to be trained prior to the event, we had to have 60 bike marshals that also had to be trained prior to the event.

We took this on and with all the adverse press supplied by the previous year’s chair that seemed to help us get even more interest in the event and more people helped to make the 2009 event the largest Wirral Egg Run ever this was confirmed by several of the previous organisers.

The Wirral Egg Run Registered Charity  are pleased to anounce that applications for funding are open from now until the 7th of April 2010 when all applicants will be considered by the trustee’s. Again Indivudal grants will be limited to a maximum of £5000.00 per grant.

The preparation for the 29th annual Wirral Egg Run is well under way after several positive meetings with the authorities, all is progressing ahead of schedule with the event due to take place on the 29th March 2009.

This year the run is 2 weeks before Easter due to other commitments by the authorities and in order to provide a safe event we have had to move our event forward (as in previous years), and not the traditional 1 week before Easter.

We are busy building up our lists of marshals and stewards who are vital for the success of the run on the day, please email Marshals (motorbike) or Stewards (foot) to register your interest and we shall be in-touch.
