We don't tell you where you are going - that's all part of the challenge! You will only know the overnight hotel details in advance. Each evening teams solve clues to draw a route on their map before heading off the following morning on that day's adventure. Once registered we will send details of the overnight hotels and provide various guides to the event and navigation... and so the adventure begins. You can find out more about what to expect by reading our FAQ.

2014: Amsterdammed
In our 2014 event we travelled from the north east corner of France, through Belgium and up through the Netherlands, taking in Bruges, Ghent, Amsterdam and other fine cities in Europe.
Amsterdammed: The Rise of the Dark Net was themed around vampires and werewolfs - see our blog and the photos of the teams in fancy dress and their decorated cars!
We assembled on the evening of Thursday 18 September on the south coast of the UK and dispersed on the afternoon of Sunday 21 September in Belgium. In between we covered 100's of miles, facing some tough challenges - both mentally and physically - and above all, raising much needed funds for Barnardo's to help in their work with vulnerable children.
Hiding in Amsterdam’s canal system lurks an unseen evil, ready to pounce on the vulnerable and lure them into a dark underworld. White Hat Rally teams must join with Barnardo’s in order to fight to protect vulnerable children and prevent this evil rising from the depths.
Throughout the decades, many have sought to destroy the evil and terrible creatures that lurk in Amsterdam’s Canal System, all have failed; do you have what it takes to defeat the creatures?
