Zone 1 Challenge Cup 2024- Friday 31st May

Post by tangy »

The prestigious Zone 1 Challenge Cup is this year being held on Friday 31st May 2024.

The aim is simple: visit all 67 stations on the London Underground system that are within Oyster card Zone 1 in the fastest time. You will be competition with other teams (and the trains themselves) for the coveted Zone One Challenge Cup. All teams will start from the same station at the same time and the start station is not known until 45 minutes before the challenge...

Why not come along and try to beat the current record which currently stands at 02:57:53.

The format remains unchanged however full details of the event (including meet up location, timetable of the day, rules of the challenge and after event quiz) can be found on the dedicated website at http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... ne1cup.htm

Even though this is an open invitation event, it would greatly assist me if you notify me of your attendance at the event (even if you are at this stage a maybe). Contact details are on the website (see link above), leave a message on the Random 15 Facebook group page or just post below... whatever is easier for you!

If running around the Tube is not really your thing (or you sadly cannot join us during the daytime), after the challenge we all meet up for a social and there will be a pub style quiz, again with prizes available, which you may prefer instead. Participation in the pub quiz/after event social is not dependent on you doing the actual challenge.

Hope to see many of you there, be it a first timer or a regular challenger that shows up year after year.

Thanks
