Race the Sun

The race is on!

This is the eleventh year of this exciting triathlon-style adventure challenge. Teams of four will be attempting to complete cycling, climbing and canoeing sections of the challenge starting just before sunrise and aiming to finish before sunset – racing the sun! You will cycle approximately 50 miles (80km), hike to the summit of England’s second highest mountain – Helvellyn at 3,116ft (950m) and canoe a 3km course on Lake Thirlmere (Canoe experience is not essential).

Places are limited for this very popular event so register now. Find out more on the Action for Charity website.

Due to the success of this event over the last 10 years, we will be launching Race the Sun Brecon Beacons in 2013.

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to all the teams who took part in the 10th Race the Sun event on Saturday 1 September 2012. We saw some great examples of team spirit throughout the day! The fastest overall time for completing the challenge was 7 hours 30 minutes! Congratulations to Team RSG!!
