The KHC Virtual Balloon Race has completed for this year!
The inaugural KHC Balloon race finished after two gruelling weeks with the lead changing hands muttiple times each day! In the end the balloons had travelled over 33,000km or 20,505 miles in old money! That's quite a journey, given that the circumference of the earth is around 25,000 miles.
In the end, only 86km - 53 miles, separated the 60 balloons! Well done to our winners, pictured below. In case you're wondering about third place - that went to our Chairman who, after a brief discussion with the race organisers asked for the prize of £25 to be put straight into the KHC funds - this was a fund raising activity after all! In the end, we made a little over £100.
Thanks to everyone who supported us! We hope you had fun and that you'll join us again next year!

The winner - logging a distance of 33645km who was also the birthday boy so we hope the £100 first prize made it an even better day!
And worthy runner-up - a mere 1km behind but £50 better off!
