London Calling
1 June 2007
29th/ 30th September will see London ratified for the first time. This epic event will provide the culmination to the 2007 Series and will see the Rat Race Adventure Series champions crowned at the event village in the shadow of mighty Tower Bridge.
The London Rat Race will be as grand as the city it is staged in – think famous landmarks, big ropes, audacious navigation stages and some pretty quirky checkpoint locations! With the event village being right next to the new Mayor of London’s office and Tower Bridge in the heart of London, the course could literally go north, south, east or west from here. But in true Rat Race style we won’t be telling you where until hours before you begin.
The man on the maps is World Championship adventure racer and British Champion Nick Gracie, who is ideally qualified to be your host for the weekend, being a born and bred Londoner and therefore knowing the nooks and crannies of this city like the back of his hand. You could say he’s the AR equivalent of a Black Cabbie – on a bike! Roll up Guvnor – because our Manor is now your Manor as we invite you to join the Rat Race in Old Smoke – an unprecedented adventure that will reveal the beating heart of the capital as you have never seen it before.
