Rally for Heroes 2012
19 August 2012 - 24 August 2012
Started in 2010 with the idea of taking in some of
"The best driving roads in Europe" whilst raising money for
charity, this event is now in its third year!
The core of the event is the same as the original road trip, incorporating a drive/ride of a minimum 5 miles for each Service person that has made the ultimate sacrifice serving their country in Afghanistan during the current conflict.
However, Rally for Heroes 2012 will have a few additions. The first three days will be run along the lines of a scatter run. All entrants will be given a location to reach by the end of the day and each vehicle will be set off at intervals, making their own way to the given location. En-route there will be various tasks all of which will be optional, but will award entrants with points towards a daily leg winner and ultimately the coveted Rally for Heroes 2012 cup winner.
There is a small entrance fee (non-refundable) per vehicle to cover the event costs with any remainder being placed directly into the Charity fund.
In addition to the entrance fee, everyone will be asked to raise their own sponsorship for the event by setting up their own Virgin fundraising account, which will in turn be linked directly to the Rally for Heroes account. There will also be a charity auction on the last night as some companies have donated items rather than money as sponsorship.
The intended route will see us take in some of the most famous tracks and driving routes around central Europe, these include:
- Le Mans
- Monaco
- Stelvio Pass
- Grossglockener Pass
- Hockenheim Circuit
- The Nurburgring
