Set your own race start and end dates - races must run a minimum of 24 hours.
A virtual balloon race is one that is run in a completely virtual space i.e online. The race can be viewed online at any stage. Participants can view the race leaderboard, search for their balloon or view the 'live' race in action. This is all done in an environmentally friendly way, as all the balloons are virtual.
Set your own race start and end dates. Race duration needs to be a minimum of 24 hours but Mon-Fri and Fri-Mon are popular options for schools.
Participants can customise and enter their balloon using the online ticketing website we provide for your charity or school. This is also how they pay for the balloons, adding optional donations if you are fundraising. We have lots of balloons to choose from, participants can give the balloon a fun nickname and add a short message too! During the race, these are visible on the leaderboard or when you hover over your balloon in flight!
All participants are given the race link to visit when the race goes live. They will also be sent a reminder with the link 2 hours before the race launches.
