Phoenix Race for a Reason 2025

From 6th - 9th July 2025, members of #TeamPhoenix will have the chance to embark on a four-day race through the Benelux region using only public transport in Race for a Reason.

Based on the hit BBC TV show, Race Across the World, Phoenix Race for a Reason will have a dozen checkpoints scattered across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The teams will need to strategize to earn points based on the difficulty of each location - one point for easier stops, and two for more challenging ones. The goal is not just speed, but maximising points, with the winner accumulating the highest score by the end of the race.

This unique event combines adventure with purpose, as they race to raise funds and awareness for St Leonard’s Hospice. As our chosen charity, St Leonard’s Hospice provide their care for free, but it’s not free to provide.

They only receive approximately 27% of their funding from the NHS, so must raise over £6 million a year to run all their crucial services, and make sure as much as possible goes directly to patient care and facilities. Their unrivalled care is only possible thanks to the support of the public, so they are our reason for racing.

With cities, countryside, and cultural landmarks along the way, our teams will face a thrilling mix of logistics, strategy, and endurance. Race for a Reason offers the chance to explore Benelux, test limits, and make a difference.
