In 2007 the Great Christmas Pudding Race was on Saturday 8 December starting at 11am.
For full details, see: http://www.xmaspuddingrace.org.uk

This event has taken place in Covent Garden every December since 1980. Teams represent schools, universities, companies or other organisations. They race around a course carrying a Christmas pudding.

The money raised is for Cancer Research UK. Find out about Cancer Research UK (and how you can help) from their website: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org.

Would you like to take part in this year's event? To enter a team into this race, you will need to find 6 volunteers and raise £500 in sponsorship (for the charity). If you are a university student, this is a great opportunity to get something different to add to your CV and talk about at future job interviews!
