The Race
Starting line: Devonport House, King William
Walk
Six pub pit stops
Finish line: The Prince of Greenwich, Royal
Hill
The streets of central Greenwich will be transformed into a course for glammed-up comical looking pop/rock
star-lookalike nags. These panto horses race from Devonport House with
many pub pit stops along the quarter mile route, encountering various
obstacles to overcome to gain points per pit stop. The 2017 route has some
bizarre surprises in store for those hapless horses, before they
stagger to the finishing line an hour later in Royal Hill, west Greenwich,
where their team points will be totted up by our strict and highly stern
bowler-hatted adjudicator, Helen ‘Robocop’ Robinson. The five horses with the
most points will then face their final race challenge, the space hopper finale.
The Space Hopper Finale
Each nag will have two space hoppers - one each
for the front and back ends of their horse. Each half-horse must sit,
bounce and race to the finish line, trying to jump over the many steeple jumps
and surprise obstacles. First home will be crowned the official 2017 winner,
and prizes will go to 2nd and 3rd place runners-up.
