Story

We are taking on 13 other football clubs in London and raising funds for Palace for Life Foundation.

The Race Europe event will see 14 London Football Clubs race across Europe in a virtual activity challenge. Working in squads of 23, each Club aim to be the fastest to cover the 6,720 miles that separate all of the Euro 2021 Host Cities.

The event is running throughout March and participants can log miles in nearly 80 different activities (subject to any Government guidelines) including running, swimming, cycling, football, golf, tennis and even by washing their car!

A live event portal is charting the progress of each Club team and as each squad reaches a host city, information about that city and its footballing history will be unlocked.

All funds raised from the event will support Palace for Life Foundations work in the community through investment into solution-focused projects, tackling some of the biggest challenges facing our community today including social isolation and health inequalities.

Palace for Life Foundation has been working hard to adapt their services to support the local community during the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes Palace for Life coaches supporting primary schools to help the children of key workers, online mentoring for the most vulnerable young people and the creation of The Palace Kitchen, which prepared 20,000 nutritious meals for people in need in 2020.

However, there are many more people in need of support and for many months to come as the impact of Covid-19 continues to impact our communities and our people, affecting both their physical and mental health.
