Automotive charity Ben will run its second Race Across Britain in 2026, a three day challenge inspired by the BBC’s Race Across the World. The event returns from 23 to 25 February 2026. Teams of two will navigate between mystery checkpoints using public transport, cycling and walking, with no planes, no smartphones and no pre planning.
The first running in February 2024 raised more than £100,000 for Ben, which supports people in the automotive sector who are struggling or in crisis.
Entrants receive a limited budget for essentials. Checkpoints are revealed on the move. Teams can complete ad hoc tasks to boost funds. Success depends on planning on the fly, teamwork and resilience, not raw speed.
For 2026, the registration fee is £500 per team of two, with a £2,000 fundraising target. Ben is also seeking business sponsors for the event.
“We can’t wait to race again next year. As Race Across Britain revs up for 2026, our automotive family is called once more to test their mettle, support their colleagues and champion the charity that is there when they need it most,” said Matt Wigginton, Director of Growth and Development at Ben.
