Join Action Medical Research in the 10th annual Race the Sun, an exciting event for teams of four in the magnificent setting of the Lake District. It's a cycle, climb, canoe challenge. Teams start the challenge at sunrise and attempt to finish by sunset – racing the sun!
The challenge is to cycle 50 miles (80kms), hike to the summit of England’s second highest mountain - Helvellyn at 3,116ft (950m) - and canoe a 2.5 mile (4kms) course on Thirlmere.
Places are limited for this 10th anniversary year so register now for the special event.

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to all the teams who took part in the 9th Race the Sun event on Saturday 3 September 2011. The rain poured all day but the spirit and camaraderie amongst everyone – teams, marshals and supporters - was fantastic. The fastest overall time for completing the challenge was a record breaking 6 hours 20 minutes! Congratulations to Team Stanlow 2, The Eclectics for their success.
