It now has around 300 crews taking part and is an international event with competitors from America, Australia, and many European countries.

All money raised will go to The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, which is a fantastic cause. They have helped save many lives, run by staff who treat their work not just as a job but as a vocation. All money raised is important to help provide life saving equipment.

Thank you for your support.
