New Rat Race Locations For 2008

It's a new year and the Rat Race Urban Adventure series of urban adventure races is back complete with two brand new venues in the shape of Brighton and Newcastle this summer plus a Birmingham event which forms part of the 2008 OS Outdoors Show.

All the new events are going to be run in a "Nine 2 Five" format, meaning that they start at nine o'clock on a Saturday and finish same day and five o'clock, but you can still expect the traditional combination of running, biking, kayaking and more, just in a shorter time frame.

The Brighton event is scheduled for 28 June, 2008 and the Newcastle one for 30 August. First up though is the Birmingham Rat Race, which is part of the Outdoors Show and takes place on 15 March.

Last but not least, the Rat Race is apparently going international this year - more details when we have them, but you can find the full low down on the events announced so far at www.ratraceadventure.com.
