Madness, again.

Last year, we raised over £2,250 for LooseHeadz and Wooden Spoon, and became World Record Holders for the longest game of Rugby XV.

The weeks of fundraising — and the event itself — helped open conversations about the importance of mental health in amateur rugby. They reminded people that it's OK not to feel OK, and that talking about it matters. Last year made a difference. But more needs to be done.

That's why we're doing it again.

At 12pm on Friday 25th July, the whistle blows and two marathon rugby matches begin — this time in Rugby 7s. One men's match and one women's match will run simultaneously.

The goal? Play for longer than the current Guinness World Record of 24 hours and 30 minutes, set in 2017.

Each game will feature two teams of up to 12 players, with rolling substitutions keeping the action going throughout. Every match will follow official 7s laws, ensuring the challenge stays a legitimate competitive contest — even as fatigue sets in.

Like last year, Carole will be taking part as a player, and Aurélie as Match Official.

We need your support: to help us reach our fundraising goal, to spread the word, and to break the stigma around mental health.
