Tube Challenge '08
Welcome to the official Tube Challenge site for Children in Need 2008.
Our aim is to raise as much money as possible for Children in Need (CiN) and at the same time raise the profile of Tube Challenging. Last year we managed to raise over £2000 for CiN and this year, with your support, we are hoping to do even better.

What is Tube Challenge?
Tube Challenge is the accepted name for the Guinness World Record (tm) for visiting all London Underground stations in the shortest time possible, of which there are currently 270.
There are other smaller challenges, such as the annual Zone 1 Challenge, but Guinness only recognise the challenge of visiting all stations. The Zone 1 challenge involves visiting all 64 stations within Z1 on a standard tube map.
Tube Challenge is a sport which involves route planning, physical fitness and a large slice of luck!
