Race Goers Have Chance To Win Four Diamonds

Published on 15/04/09

Race goers in Northern Ireland will have the opportunity to win one of four diamonds in a multi-stage event next month.

Entrants to the Diamond Quest will be in the running to win three diamonds, with those completing the course earlier having a higher chance of getting the items, which could be turned in diamond jewellery.

Another champagne diamond is also up for grabs for anyone attending the night-time event, with tickets costing £30.

To be in with a chance of winning the diamond, competitors must first run for 15.5 km, then kayak for one km and bike for the final 45 km section, arriving at Newcastle in Northern Ireland for the finish line.

People finishing in the first 50 will compete for one diamond, the second 100 will then battle it out for the second gem while the rest will vie for the final diamond, meaning those completing the course earlier will have a higher chance of getting the jewel.

Those with a less active life can still win a jewel, as a diamond ring has been donated as the main raffle prize at the Swindon Charity Ball, reports the Swindon Advertiser.
