The virtual balloon race is back by popular demand. We are raising money for the children of Oldfield Brow Primary School in Altrincham. Through these difficult times we want to bring a little excitement & raise much needed funds too.

Welcome to our Easter Virtual Balloon Race – a computer simulation race where everything is real except the balloon! It’s 100% eco-friendly with no risk of harm to wildlife.

Each virtual balloon costs just £3 and you can buy as many balloons as you would like.

Setting off from Istanbul in Turkey, the balloons will be ‘released’ on Easter Sunday, 4th April 2021 at 12pm (noon) and race for 7 days.

Enjoy taking part in this fun event from the comfort of your own home and track your balloons live as they gently float across the virtual sky. The specialist software uses live weather data to determine the progress of each balloon and they can be tracked on Google Maps and satellites once the race has launched.

The race finishes on Sunday 11th April 2021 at 12pm (noon). Winners will be contacted directly and announced on our social media platforms.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Simply sign-up (so we know who you are if you win), once you've paid for your balloon you can then name, personalise, and decorate your balloon via your dashboard by choosing the shape, colour, and pattern, plus the helium content and rubber thickness.

NATIONAL STAR PRIZES - for the top 12 balloons travelling the furthest from all charities joining this race:
* 1st prize - £500 cash
* 2nd prize - Apple iPad
* 10 x £10 national book tokens

Prizes will also be awarded to all the balloons who finish in our top 20 leaderboard within our charity so keep an eye on our Facebook page for further details.

Good luck everyone & thank you for your continued support.
