INTRODUCTION

This exciting urban adventure event is open to anyone between the ages of 14 and 18 and is designed to give the full Rat Race experience with a few format tweaks here and there, plus a training module on the Saturday of the event to give full confidence on some of the more specialist skills you will need for the Rat Race. 

BACKGROUND

Imagine biking, kayaking, climbing, abseiling, running and navigating your way all over London in an urban adventure race with hundreds of others; see the sights totally differently, as well as visit some true gems of the city off the beaten track. The Rat Race is a truly unique adventure racing concept that totally liberates the very best of a city as an adventure playground.

For 2009, the Rat Race have partnered with legendary adventurers The Outward Bound Trust, the UK’s leading provider of experiential learning in the outdoors, to bring you the first ever Rat Race youth event. From our event base in the heart of the city you will strike out across the metropolis to uncover checkpoints hidden all over town and attempt many different pursuits in your quest to find your way around the famous Rat Race course. You won’t know where you are going until the eve of the event and even when you do know the route, it’s up to you to navigate your way around it as a team.
