Wind Speed experience by lead Balloon
Sponsored by:
About this race:
To win your Balloon must travel the furthest distance by the time the race ends at midnight on 1st November but beware... if it goes *pop*, your race is over!
Balloons can be completely personalised - you can choose their shape and colour, you can name them and add a photograph, you can even decide how thick the material is, and how much to inflate it by - so will you go for speed, or durability?
It's just £5 donation per balloon and there's no limit on the number of times you can enter, with proceeds supporting the ongoing work of our charity partners at Shine.
If your balloon travels the furthest you could win
1st prize: Citi Community Celebration points worth £110
2nd prize: Citi Community Celebration award points worth £73
3rd prize: Citi Community Celebration award points worth £36
Balloons go on sale at 9am on Wednesday 6th October and you have until midnight on Sunday 24th October to enter.
