We’re Taking On the First Ever Race Across Oxfordshire

Posted: 6th May 2026 Key ,

With less than a week to go, we’re getting very excited as Jamal and Alex from Wise Investment prepare to take on the first ever Race Across Oxfordshire on the 11th May 2026.

Inspired by the BBC’s Race Across the World, this brand‑new event will see 20 teams racing across Oxfordshire in a demanding 10‑hour challenge. The twist? No phones for navigation, limited money, and a series of challenges to complete along the way. It’s going to push teamwork, resilience, problem‑solving and maybe even patience, all for a brilliant cause.

We’re incredibly proud to be sponsoring Jamal and Alex as they represent Wise Investment while raising vital funds for Homeless Oxfordshire. The charity provides essential support to people experiencing homelessness across our local community, and every donation, big or small, really does make a difference.

Although teams won’t be allowed to use their phones to get around, Jamal and Alex will be documenting their journey throughout the day. Make sure you follow @wiseinvestmentltd on Facebook and Instagram to see how they’re getting on and cheer them along.

If you’d like to support the Wise Investment Team, you can donate via our JustGiving page.

Best of luck Jamal and Alex – we know you’re going to be fantastic!
