The Great Optimist Race 2023

• Number of champion(s): 20
• Event:
• Cause: The Little Optimist Trust

The Great Optimist Race 2023 will be held during the BOATICA Boat Show on 28 October.

This year the race will be in a relay format – with 4 skippers per Optimist Children’s dinghy.

They will be raced by adults ( Celebrities, Medical Survivors, and captains of Industry) not only for glory but also to raise money and awareness for the charity of their choice. 

The Great Optimist Race is a UNIQUE fundraising event, spreading Optimism and Hope across many sectors. All the funds raised by each boat will be split between The Little Optimist Trust and the charity supported by that boat. 

The event will take place at the V & A Waterfront, so come down to support your boat and see who walks away with the coveted trophy.

Please DONATE by selecting the boat and charity you want to support. Challenge your friends and corporates to match or better your donation, and help us help others.

See you on race day!
