Britballrun 2007

UK driving tour returns



The Britballrun event is back for another year.

The annual event - approved by the MSA - is held throughout Britain over the three day August Bank Holiday weekend, and hopes to raise a large amount of cash for charity.

The aim of the event is to clock up the least amount of miles (each mile represents 1 point) via predefined control points. These points are revealed to the entrants after they have solved clues specific to the previous control point location. The event is not a race and is not time-critical.

During the three days, entrants have the opportunity to reduce their overall point score by taking part in a series of mental and physical challenges.

For example, last year, entrants were asked to obtain a stick of Blackpool rock with Britballrun running through it. The added bonus was to obtain the longest length as each centimetre equalled 1 mile off a team’s overall score. The longest length given in was 1.1m…

The event is not time specific and has been designed around navigation, fun and team working. Britballrun describe it as ‘the perfect environment to meet new friends and acquaintances’.

The cost of entry is £350 per person with a minimum of 2 people per vehicle.

If you fancy taking part in the 2007 event, then contact Britballrun via the email address below and request an application pack:

Surely this will now be banned as the name sounds very like "Cannon ball run" or "Gum ball rally"...
