RAG RACE 2016

Location: Bognor Regis

Here it is, the invite to the BIGGEST EVENT of the student calendar and all for charity.... the OFFICIAL RAG RACE 2016!!!

Click here for the FaceBook Event page

 

It is a day when everybody dresses up in fancy dress (which some students spend months making themselves!!!) and go on a specific route around Bognor Regis to a number of licensed public houses and food outlets, all who have given a charitable donation to be involved in the event. Please do not visit venues that are not on the route as they have not contributed to the charity.

Last year (2015) had a turnout of over 2000 people who all had nothing but positive comments about the event ranging from how much fun people had had to how well the event itself had been organised and ran.

The day is an enjoyable one by all, ranging from the students, the venue owners as well as the local residents of the Bognor Regis town, so much so that it has now become a tradition that has happened for at least 30 years.

Each time the RAG Race has been organised the event has raised a huge amount for charity, with around £10,000 being raised each year!
