Gateshead News

Soon, we'll all be stood beside the mightily impressive BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Arts, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge*, The Sage Gateshead and the Tyne Bridge. More vast structures than ever assembled around a Rat Race event village! There is still time to call a mate and get a last minute entry as a participant or as event crew, into the inaugural Newcastle & Gateshead Rat Race.

After much enjoyable adventure hunting, we have devised two exciting, challenging and varied Adventure Loops that strike out from our Baltic Square base in the heart of the city. However, before heading out you’ll need to complete the prologue… exclusive to this event, the prologue features a concept never before seen at a Rat Race, and to really sharpen your minds, you’ll need to complete it before the Millennium Bridge tilts at midday otherwise you'll have a fair detour to get across the Tyne, and all this excitement after only starting at 1100, one hour earlier.

Ni Hao Ratfans!

It’s the 7th February – and the Start of the (Chinese) Year of the Rat! Yes that’s right, 2008 is the Year of the Rat and to celebrate, we’re offering a special deal to all those who are entering our NEW events in Brighton and Newcastle and we are EXTENDING our Early Bird deal in Birmingham too!

Ahoy or Haway, Rat Racers!

 2008 is here and so too are 2 new Rat Races; we are pleased to announce that alongside the new Birmingham event launched just before Christmas, we are good to go in BRIGHTON and NEWCASTLE with two new Rat Races.
