  • Hi guys

    Thought this might be something you'd be interested in... 

    Rat Race Bristol 14th – 15th June 2008!

    Over this weekend the city of Bristol is turned into an adventure course!  You will receive a course only hours before you begin and teams of 3 will be running, cycling, kayaking, abseiling their way around places you wouldn’t normally be allowed to! 

    Please email running@pennybrohn.org if you want more information and I can email it out to you – it contains all the answers to all the questions you’re probably thinking of right now!   You can sign up online here www.pennybrohncancercare.org and click on Support Us.

    If you have concerns about the sponsorship levels then just give me a ring on 01275 370081 or reply to this email.

    All this fun and you'll be helping to support a fantastic charity - Penny Brohn Cancer Care.

    Core components:
    Biking:
    50 – 70km; on-road and off-road. This is the main discipline that will “link” the various components of the course
    Ropework: Some people think this is what really sets the Rat Race apart from anything else – the ability to clamber all over buildings and structures with ropes. It’s exciting, exhilarating and gives great views of the city you are travelling around. And it’s the sort of thing you would get arrested for if you tried it without us! We will always give you at least one section and usually 2 or more. Previous events have seen zip wires into city squares and abseils off famous stadiums; airy traverses of railway bridges and scrambling up city crags or walls.
    Kayaking:You might be paddling on city docks, on rivers, canals or even on the Sea in some coastal cities. You will always be under the watchful eyes of our safety crews and you will have all the equipment provided. We tend to set fairly basic kayak challenges as the standards of paddling generally are fairly (ahem) mixed! Don’t worry if you aren’t the best paddlers and remember there is always the refresher course to brush up on your skills.
    Navigation: Not to be feared! Suffice to say that most is done on A-Z maps.  We might give you some other navigation challenges along the route, such as orienteering with special maps in city parks, or navigation with aerial photos. These will vary from event to event. You CAN practise navigation.
    Special stages: This could literally mean anything. We have sent people underground into caves to navigate in pitch darkness; we have given people wigs and microphones and asked them to perform on stage in front of an audience; we have had teams looking for ghostly monks in a castle and have defended ourselves with flour bombs from teams “laying siege” to a fortified island. People have been buried in sand, navigated the aisles of shopping centres, rode bikes over parked cars and through big trucks and some have encountered the legendary Rat Race slippery wall – sometimes featured immediately before the finish line as the “final straw.” We’ve even had teams perform live at a major music festival in front of 1000s. All between bouts of biking, hiking, abseiling and kayaking. It all lies between you and the finish

    Don’t miss out on this event of a lifetime – and you’ll be helping us help even more people with cancer.  Go on take the plunge and sign up!
