Two of their main daytime presenters were to race around the county, visiting every single town in Devon racing money for charity as they go.
The only Rules....
You can only use public Transport
and
NO CHEATING.
Shep and Fitz set off from the same location on Monday and ended up at the same location on Friday however in the rest was up to them.
They only had to stop for one thing... Their own show.
The two Davids still had to stop on the way to present their shows as normal with David Shepard presenting the Mid-Morning and David FitzGerald presenting the afternoon show.
Out of the 10 OBs the BBC Bus was used for 5 of them.
The winner was not the first to cross the line, it was a point system based around gaining points for being first and raising money and losing points for not using public transport.
Fitz razed the most money and arrived at the final destination first however he did cheat, at lest one time per day. So he ended up in negative points leaving Shep to claim the win.
The real winner, however, was the charities that the money was raised for. The Wacky Races raised
over £1000 for local charities.
Working with Devon Community Foundation they giving cash gifts to local groups and organisations who need it most.
The total amount raised across the station this so far is over £15000
So far this year grants have been made to:
£638 to South Devon Special Olympics Gymnastics Club to provide training working with gymnasts with special needs.
£780 to Chulmleigh Recreational Association to offer physical activities for young people with special education needs in North Devon.
