London Rat Race Success

By all accounts the London Rat Race Urban Adventure was a tremendous success and a worthy event to be the 10th Rat Race staged in the UK. 750 racers of all ages, shapes and sizes, lined up on the South Bank on Saturday evening to get it all off and running for the Mean Streets Prologue and thankfully 750 came back in again after 2.5 hours. In between they'd been all over London's famous streets and landmarks in the usual random Rat Race fashion
.

Saturday night winners were none other than UrbanAdventureGear.com! The team consisting of Iona Robertson, Rich Wild and James Williams, ran the legs off everyone else and crossed the line ahead of all the favourites including Aberdeen Asset Management and The North Face. The main race on Sunday also went very well for them apart from one small, eency-weency little problem...they missed a checkpoint in an orienteering stage, meaning that despite coming third on the day, they were ranked behind every team that completed the whole course! Eventual joint winners were Aberdeen Asset Management and The North Face, with Aberdeen taking the series title and wining a trip to Trinidad and Tobago.
