Lawrence Dallaglio - the Drambuie Pursuit Challenge

Lawrence Dallaglio is ready for the Drambuie Pursuit Challenge – are you?

Former England rugby captain, Lawrence Dallaglio has signed up for the annual Drambuie Pursuit, a high octane extreme sport adventure race across the Scottish Highlands which takes place between 8-10th May.

To encourage consumers to sign up for this unique event the former England International rugby hero has created a film, challenging people to either apply for a place on his team or enter their own team of four.

Lawrence Dallaglio states, “You’re either with me or against me”.

In addition to Lawrence Dallaglio leading a team, his old friend and former Scottish International player Kenny Logan, husband of sports presenter Gabby Logan, is also heading a team.

This is the first year that such well known sports personalities are taking part in the Drambuie Pursuit.

The first Drambuie Pursuit took place in 2006 and has since gained a cult following.  It is run every year in a spirit of adventure and rebellion against the ordinary and the everyday.

The Drambuie Pursuit Challenge sees participants push themselves to the limit across a series of tough activities, recreating – with a modern twist – the epic journey undertaken by Bonnie Prince Charlie, Drambuie’s young hero over 250 years ago

To take part in the 2009 Drambuie Pursuit, consumers can either apply for a team of four of their own (applicant plus three mates), or apply for themselves and a mate to join Dallaglio’s team.

Each team that applies has to create a short audition video of up to 60 seconds.  They then need to encourage their friends and supporters to vote for their audition film on the Pursuit website – www.drambuiepursuit.com.

The entry closing date is 31st March 2009.

Ten teams will then be selected to take part in the Drambuie Pursuit weekend, 8-10th May.
