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.

2009 Wirral Egg Run was a successful day the Wirral Egg Run Charity trustee Team and Committee would like to thank everyone that helped out on the day and made this year’s Egg Run the most successful egg run ever.

The weather was amazing on the day that made this year’s Egg Run event the largest egg to have been ran on the Wirral and this defines the event as the second largest bike event in Europe.

The Wirral Egg Run is an annual event which raises money for local children’s charities and donates Easter eggs to hospitalised children. Traditionally it takes place on a Sunday preceding Easter. In 2008, well over 7000 motorcycles took part in the event.

Participants gather at New Brighton at the top end of the Wirral peninsular and ride a 20 mile pre-determined route to Clatterbridge hospital.

Tens of thousands of spectators line the route and also contribute their donations to our Official 2009 Wirral Egg Run collectors are present at New Brighton, Clatterbridge and along the route. Also there are separate fund raising events are held across the Wirral, co-ordinated under the auspices of The Official Wirral Egg Run Registered Charity.

The 2008 Wirral Egg Run has generated over £25,000 for the Jelly Bean appeal last year and  our goal this year is to generate even more money to help more sick, unfortunate children on the Wirral at our 2009 Wirral Egg Run Event on the 20th March 2009.
