SPORT RELIEF HITS THE WAVES!

In March of 2012, four teams of celebrated sports people and celebrities representing England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will race over 1,000 miles around the UK and Ireland in the biggest ever Sport Relief Challenge, in which OYT Scotland is playing a crucial role!

The teams will start simultaneously in their home cities of Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh and London as they run, row, cycle and sail their way clockwise around the UK and Ireland from the 10th to the 17th of March 2012. For eight days they will push their bodies to the extreme as they raise a stack of money for Sport Relief. Every turn of the pedal, every stroke of the oar, will carry the hopes of a nation.

And it'll be the OYT Scotland's amazing yachts that will carry our national teams, packed with celebrity sportsmen and women, across the water in the most exhiliarating Sport Relief challenge to date.

You'll watch this challenge unfold from your sofa, gently stretching and limbering up as you prepare for Sunday the 25th of March when you have the chance to join your celebrity team mates! Side-by-side you could be running the final 6 miles of this journey with them, as fast as you can for your country and a better world. Your efforts will ultimately determine who wins the challenge and is crowned the First Nation Home!

There are 66,400,000 people in the United Kingdom and Ireland — on the 25th of March you could be in the 0.006% of the population who'll be representing their nation.

Due to OYT Scotland's role in the First Nation Home race, we're pleased to be able to offer all friends, members and volunteers of Ocean Youth Trust Scotland an exclusive opportunity to secure a place to represent your country before this unique challenge is launched and before registration is opened to the general public.

What will you give for national pride and the chance to make a difference?
