COMPETITIVE EDGE 10 SEPTEMBER 11
vintage midnight walk
On the strike of midnight on 10 September, 1,000 women in vintage clothes will descend on the streets of London to raise money for Richard House Children’s Hospice and St Joseph’s Hospice – both in London.

Registration is £15 and sponsorship is set at £100. Details:

The Médocaine one-day hiking and cycling event in France is so popular that the 6,500 places for 2011 are already full. However, you can now register your interest for 2012. Now in its 13th year, the event offers
20, 25, 30, 35, 50 and 80km walking and biking routes across some of the greatest wine regions and vineyards in the Gironde area of south-west France. Along the way there are wine tasting stations and 25 live bands. Fancy dress costumes are also a big part of the day. More of a fun-filled event than for serious time-setters. Details:
