Raft Race Entrants

If you have come this far, you are thinking about entering this year's raft race. It is to be run on the Forth, from the Hawes Pier at South Queensferry. The date is Sunday 24 May 2009, with the races starting at 1 pm.

You can enter a team from work, a group of family, or friends, or even a pub team. Think of a fancy dress theme and collect fifty pounds and you are there. But hurry, entry is limited to the first twenty four teams, who have signed up and paid their entry fee. Do not leave registration until race day, as you may not get in.

You also have an opportunity to support our main charites, Chest, Heart and Stroke (Scotland) and Queensferry Care. You can do this by obtaining sponsorship for yourself, or your team. to make this easy for you, we have set up a link through Just Giving. There is a link to their site at the foot of each page.
