Jersey teams to race from St Malo to Prague for charity
A Jersey charity has set up a challenge inspired by a BBC One Jersey Employment Trust (JET) said its Race Across the World challenge would see teams of two race from St Malo to Prague over one weekend in 2024, the JET Jaunt saw 17 teams raced from St Malo to Monaco to support islanders with disabilities or long-term health conditions in the workplace, raising £24, fundraising manager Caroline Spencer said it wanted to build on last years event. She said: "The Jaunt is a great way to challenge yourself, think on the hoof, and see how you and your team-mate cope with the added pressure of a race."For most of us these days, we travel with quite a fixed itinerary - this throws that out of the window. "You can't pre-book buses or trains because you don't know what we might ask you to do along the way."Race Across the World is currently available to stream on iPlayer. The JET Jaunt challenged teams to take a selfie in a certain street in St Malo, take a photo of the Owl of Dijon and take a team photo at the statue of F1 driver Juan Manuel in 2024 Lucy Gomes and her friend Sarah Parker said the challenge was "too good an opportunity to miss".Ms Gomes said: "It was so much fun, we really enjoyed the challenges and loved seeing each city along the way. "The time restrictions and the unknown put us both out of our comfort zones, which certainly kept the adrenaline going through the race." 'Exhilarating and challenging' Joanne Vandermerwe-Mahon travelled with her 12-year-old daughter Eleanor - the youngest competitor."We took part because we thought it was a great cause and we are fans of the TV show."The race was exhilarating and challenging - it really made us think and plan ahead and at a few points we had to be very sneaky and strategic."Registration is open with an event capacity of 50 teams of two racers.
