Final call for runners to enter Southampton charity drag race

The Titanic Pub in Southampton is raising money for Cancer Research UK at the annual drag race on September 6, 2014 hosted by Sonia Marmite.

The Race will be started by Southampton Councillor Linda Norris and all money raised will be used for cancer research and treatment in the Southampton area.

Last year £3,051.41 was raised and this year organisers have set themselves a target of £4,000.

The drag rules are simple:

• MEN must wear a dress, handbag, wig and at least 1″ heels

• WOMEN. must wear trousers, shirt, tie and a waistcoat or a jacket (no trainers)

The race is open to all ages including children, but you must be in fancy dress to run and you must collect at least £50 per person in sponsorship money.

All participants will get a certificate on completion of the race. Sponsorship forms can be obtained from the bar.

The route is short: along Sinnel Street, into Castle Street, then onto St Michael’s Square and back along Budge Street.

There will be prizes for best dressed and worst dressed.

All runners must be in the bar for 3:30pm to check outfits, hear the rules and pose for photographs.
