The Island are inviting companies, families and groups of friends to test their knowledge of York and take part in the first ever York City Chase.

“YORK CITY CHASE” – NEW EVENT UNLEASHED

 

Poverty and deprivation is rising among York’s children and young people and The Island is working hard to support as many as we can through our group and one-to-one mentoring services.  Our children are our greatest asset so we need to invest in them.

The Island are inviting companies, families and groups of friends to test their knowledge of York and take part in the first ever York City Chase.

On 9th June, starting at 5.30, teams of 4 will be tasked with racing around York visiting 25 different well-known locations, taking a team selfie, uploading it to a WhatsApp group and heading to the finishing line at the Minster.

Each team will receive branded T-shirts, a clipboard with all the locations, a map of York and 4 Yorkie bars courtesy of Nestlé and the winner will receive the inaugural York City Chase Trophy. 

We already have a lot of interest and would love to fill all 25 places and raise more funds to support vulnerable young people in our City.
