Wed 14th April - Big BIG day of Athletics!!
10am Chariots of Fire
The Chariots of Fire is the traditional dash around Front Square. It is held annually on Trinity Wednesday and is followed by the College Races on College Park. Beginning at the Rubrics, competitors race one-on-one and side-by-side until they pass under the Campanile where they then split and head towards opposite sides of Parliament Square (House 4 and House 7). Running around the respective lawns, the paths of the two competitors converge as they make the final dash towards the finish line back at the Campanile. Several rounds of races are held until two finalists battle it out one last time to become the winner of Trinity College's Chariots of Fire as well as trying to complete the race before the 12th toll of the Campanile bells at noon.
We will meet at the Campanile at 10am on Wednesday 14th April and the first race will commence shortly after with the final being held at 12 noon. There are both men's and women's races and all competitors are welcome to try to become the "fastest person" in Trinity. It's EPIC!!
