BOOM!!!!

The Wacky Races is a team treasure hunting event in the UK. Each team has a different fancy dress theme and of course a vehicle of any description to reach the final destination.

Wacky Races is having a little break...but not forever!

Wacky Races 2013 raised £2,750 for several charities: Esuubi Uganda (www.esuubi.org.uk) - to buy beds and mosquito nets for one of the new boarding houses for orphan children, Sanchat Kenya (www.sanchat.org)- sports equipment, toys, pens, pads and wind up torches, 2 wish upon a star (www.2wishuponastar.org) - memory boxes in all the A and E departments of the hospitals in South Wales by the end of the year, St Catherine's School for Children with Speech and Language Difficulties in Ventnor (www.stcatherines.org.uk) - music equipment to support the children in performing and composing, Development Nepal (www.developmentnepal.com) - Project Ujyalo Bhabisya (meaning ‘A Brighter Future’) - will help pay for one full time community motivator for one community for 4 months, 'The Cantagalo Favela Samba Escolinha' (it's a percussion group project for young kids to teach them the basics before they go onto the proper samba schools) and Maggie's Oxford (www.maggiescentres.org/oxford) - our collecting tins raised money for a Getting Started workshop at a Maggie's Centre.

Over the last 10 years we have a raised over £37,800 for charity.

How the races work:

• There are challenges for each team to attempt - you win points for completing each of them. Extra points will be awarded where a challenge is completed in a wacky way - don’t forget points do win prizes (maybe not the greatest prizes!). Unless stated, challenges can be attempted anywhere throughout the journey. You are given your destination at the start of the race. It is essential to have a digital camera to record your challenges, evidence will be used for judging. You must reach the final destination by 6pm or 100 points is deducted from your total score.
• Judging is done by all the teams (a good chance to see what everyone has been up to!).
