...Ben’s Race Across Britain a challenge unlike any other!
You are invited you to take part in our epic three-day Ben's Race Across Britain proudly sponsored by LKQ Euro Car Parts from 26-28th February 2024. You’ll be raising vital funds to support our automotive family on this incredible event at a time when Ben is supporting more people than ever due to the cost-of-living crisis.
With no planes, no smart-phones or pre-planning allowed, you and your teammate will use only public transport and you can cycle, run, or walk too but you will need to navigate from check point to check point planning your route carefully and tactically.
Just like the popular ‘Race Across the World’ TV series you will have a limited budget and no idea where you’re heading next. You will be given a budget for food, find your own accommodation and transport as you Race Across Britain, competing against up to 50 teams from our industry.
You’ll need to put in some work before you start the race, too, with each team needing to secure sponsorship from companies, friends, and family to reach the minimum £3,000 fundraising target.
Along the way, you’ll be expected to complete additional tasks to top up your budget, just like the TV show, but you’ll need to keep an eye on the clock or risk being left behind the racing pack.
Race Across Britain is, as the name suggests, a race! You’ll need to dig deep and be resourceful to be in with a chance of being first across the finish line…but we won’t tell you where that it until the final day of the race!
Entry is £500 per team of two and you will be in for an experience unlike anything you have done before, a true test of ingenuity and resolve, and you’ll need to find a travel buddy who can fire you up, not hold you back on this epic fundraising quest of a lifetime. Where will you finish? Let’s race!
