#RaceToRoyalHigh Strava Challenge
Sixth Form, Senior School, Nursery and Prep School
The Challenge
Last week was an exciting week in the RHS PE Department as Royal High School Edinburgh threw down the gauntlet and challenged us to a race. The challenge was: “the first school to reach the other’s location is the winner!” This meant the schools went head-to-head to cover a total of 389 miles (626.03km) in the shortest possible time.
Despite storm Christoph, over 150 RHS Bath staff, students and parents rose to the challenge and joined our RHB Activities Club challenge on Strava.

Year 7s took home the gold medal during day one of the challenge and accumulated a total of 95.32km as a year group alone - very impressive! Still, the staff followed closely behind having achieved a silver medal position with a total of 75.03km covered. Day one overall total (incl. all year groups and staff) = 234.42km. 391.61km to go!
