And we’re already taking entries for the next event, which is due to happen over four days from Friday 10 July through to 11.59pm on Monday 13 July.

It’s the 4J Studios Virtual Challenge Relay 2 and there really is something for everyone this time as we look to broaden the appeal of relays to various age groups.
