What a year! 2013 promises to be our most Ratisfying yet, with a host of new events being added to a smorgasbord of Rat classics. The Store is crammed to the rafters with nifty
sporting bejazzle and our brand new Membership scheme will have you scurrying away from the Gym and into the Outdoors faster than a Rat up a drainpipe. Plus we lift the lid on our new nationwide network of training runs and rides to get your body and mind ratified for the challenge ahead. Read on inside this issue of the Ratalogue: I promise you minimum use of Rat-based puns and maximum exposure on the detail across the ever-expanding line up of events, retail, membership and training. Welcome to the Rat Race!

When Rat Race established its first event in 2004, 300 plucky souls lined up
on the streets of Auld Reekie for a mad dash around town that heralded
the creation of Rat Race Adventure Sports. Many years hence, the Rat Pack
stand proud guardians over the UK’s finest array of adventure sports challenges. From 5k
training runs to iron-distance epics and 400+ mile road rides, 2013 will see some
60,000 people take part in a Rat Race event.
We’ve gone and done some house-keeping too and you can browse our events by genre:
We’ve sectioned them all out into accessible day-long “adventure runs” and multi-day
aspirational “endurance events.” Check out our map for the full run-down UK-wide and
read on to get inspired for the year ahead. Remember too that with our Rat Race Gold and
Platinum memberships you can access a year’s worth of Rat Racing for a one-off fee or an
easy monthly payment, plus benefit from Store kit vouchers and unlimited attendance at
our all-new Training Runs, Rides and Street Circuits sessions. Rat-tastic!
