19-20 July 2008, Edinburgh Rat Race: test your team’s endurance and skills.
Rats are welcome in Edinburgh: Rat Race contestants that is. Edinburgh has the original and best Rat Race – proved by the complete 300-team sell-out for 2007! Running, biking, kayaking and orienteering will get your adrenaline pumping; then test your skills with rope-related pursuits and funky parkour. Excited? Just grab 2 enthusiastic fellow team members and sign up now for the hottest thing to hit the capital since the volcano – urban adventure racing.
Gruelling, challenging and at times downright scary, so why do so many competitors return year after year? Much more than a simple triathlon or relay-race, the Edinburgh Rat Race uniquely tests fitness, nerves, teamwork and stamina to the limit. City break with a difference or corporate teamwork? Exhausting days mean you deserve a wee bit of luxury, and where better to kick off your sweaty trainers than your private Edinburgh serviced apartment, maybe in the capital's West End, on Canning Street Mews or Charlotte Square, near the First Minister's official residence.
Sound like the Olympics? The similarity doesn’t stop there. Competition is truly international. But you can forget having separate men’s and women’s races, as every team must be mixed if it is entered into the overall leader board!
