The annual World Puddle Jumping Championships organised by Wicksteed Park will still go ahead this year- but this time as a virtual event!
Although the park will be open over half term, due to Covid restrictions- judging will be carried out online- meaning there's no excuse - we can all take part in the comfort of our own muddy gardens and parks!
The event is so popular it was called "a brilliant idea" during Business Questions in Parliament by the Kettering MP Philip Hollobone and Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg!
Judges will be giving scores based on things such as the height of the jump, enthusiasm, distance of splash and 'stickability' which is the amount of mud which clings to each competitor.

Those taking part in the championships can submit their video entries by posting them onto the Wicksteed Park Facebook page, on their own Facebook page tagging in the park or by emailing them to hello@wicksteedpark.org before Monday November 2
Prize winners will be announced on the Wicksteed Park Facebook page during the first week of November.
