Missed It By Five Minutes

Race Across the UK 2026

We're Back!!

🚨 WE’RE BACK… WITH A NEW NAME AND A BIGGER ADVENTURE! 🚨
Last year we had an amazing time taking part in a charity event as Team Pawsitivity, raising money for a fantastic cause and making memories we’ll never forget. Thank you to everyone who supported us ❤️
This year, we’re taking things to the next level… with a new team name inspired by a moment that was said many times on our last adventure 👀⏰
👉 Introducing: Missed It By Five Minutes 👈
Zadie and Julie will be taking on Race Across the UK 2026, a challenge inspired by Race Across the World, all in aid of the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity, which supports Naval families facing life-changing injuries, mental health challenges, and financial difficulties.
📍 The challenge:
Race from Dartmouth to Inverness
🗓 Tuesday 6th – Friday 9th October 2026
🏁 Up to 30 teams competing
💷 Just a £500 budget
🛴 Public transport, our wits… and our secret weapon: a push scooter
Along the way we’ll be uncovering mystery checkpoints, cracking clues, tackling nerve-testing challenges, making last-minute decisions, charming locals, calling in favours, and doing whatever it takes to keep moving forward. Expect surprise twists, bold strategy, creative problem-solving, and a whole lot of hustle.
🎯 Our fundraising goal: £3,000
This isn’t just a race — it’s a wild, unpredictable journey that will push us out of our comfort zone and (hopefully) across the finish line.
Thank you for being part of our journey once again. Buckle up… Missed It By Five Minutes is officially on the move! 🚀🇬🇧

We’re taking on Race Across the UK 2026 to support the incredible work of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity!


This October, our team will be racing from Dartmouth to Inverness, travelling only by public transport and our own two feet. No shortcuts, no map apps - just quick thinking, grit, and a whole lot of determination as we chase down mystery checkpoints and take on epic challenges making our way to the finish.

But this adventure is about far more than the challenge. We’re raising money for Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC), who provide essential support to sailors, Royal Marines, veterans, and their families. Whether it’s during moments of crisis or times of everyday need, RNRMC is there for our Naval community.

Every donation - big or small - helps make a genuine difference. Please back our challenge and help us raise vital funds for those who serve and those who have served.
