Tube Olympics 2024: Event 5- Full Network Challenge.

Post by tangy »

One week to go until the blue riband event of Tube Olympics... the Full Network. All 272 London Underground stations to be visited in the fastest time.

This will be event 5 in the 2024 games and will be taking place on Friday 26th July 2024.

If you are planning on entering this event please note that the Full Network challenge will take at least 18 hours to complete, so you will be on the go the whole day with very little downtime. This is a marathon and not a sprint! Though a good dose of stamina and hopefully some good luck always helps.

You may start at any station you wish, the challenge will be conducted using standard Tube Challenge rules. Due to the length of this event, there will no end meeting point, medals and results will be given at the closing ceremony after Event 6 the next day.

Entries for this event are now open. Please confirm attendance if you wish to partake.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!
