Race Across Europe

Ever watched BBC Race Across the World?

Now’s your chance to take on the challenge!

A thrilling, fast-paced fundraising challenge where pairs race through 8 cities in 8 days, competing to reach the finish line first while raising the most funds for your local hospice.

We’re looking for teams of two to take on Europe! The twist? The winning team isn’t just the fastest — it’s the one that arrives with the most money left in their budget for your hospice. You won’t know the cities you need to reach until the day you need to travel, making the experience even more thrilling… Strategy, speed, and savvy spending all count.

Each participant must raise a minimum of £3,000:

£1,000 for flights and checkpoint hotels
£1,000 for spending money
At least £1,000 directly to Eden Valley Hospice & Jigsaw

Please note: final costings may change slightly as plans develop but any unspent funds will go directly to Eden Valley Hospice & Jigsaw. This event is being operated in conjunction with Jane Sedgwick, Travel Councillor.

We’ll be tracking your journey live, sharing updates and cheering you on as you race across Europe — making this not only an adventure for you, but an inspiring story for your supporters back home.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the excitement of international travel, teamwork, and giving back — all wrapped into one unforgettable adventure.

We can only accept 10 teams for this first race, so register your interest today.
