What is the Mac 4x4

The Macmillan 4x4 UK Challenge (Mac 4x4 or The Mac as it known)is a

long distance navigational challenge event raising funds for Macmillan

Cancer Support. The challenge aims to test navigational and observation

Skills along with endurance and driving ability both on and off road by

day and by night. Each team consists of two members, a driver and a navigator

Although is strongly recommended that both are licensed and insured for

The vehicle for the event. The event can cover from 400 to 1000 road miles

with various off road sections in a weekend.

 

To enter the Mac you do not need a tricked out truck. Any sensibly equipped

4x4 should be able to complete the event in fact there are some (off the

Forecourt) standard vehicles which compete. The teams are given the start details

about a week before the start but the route is kept top secret until the

Road books are issued along the way.

 

The teams are required to raise a minimum sponsorship of £600. ALL the

sponsor money raised  goes to Macmillan Cancer Support as the team cover

The cost of fuel and any other cost along the way also they pay the entry fee

which covers the event admin costs and the award dinner at the end.

The award dinner and teams are accommodated at the De Vere hotel Daresbury park

The award dinner requires the competitors to be suited and booted.

 

The event has a contagious spirit of camaraderie although it is a seriously

Competitive event the focus is always on the main purpose for the event to

Raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support
