A multi-sport challenge to be taken on by ~20 McKinsey Legal colleagues and friends from all over the world! The Maltese Falcon from Rat Race crosses the hilly islands of Gozo, Comino, and Malta (16.5km run, 6.3km kayak and 56km cycle/run). Starting at 3am, they will complete the ~15 hour course on October 14th, 2023 as a team – some individuals taking on the entire course, some as a relay. Participation is voluntary, self-funded, and, in addition to spending their summer training for this ambitious event, the team is raising funds for two deeply meaningful charities: Children with Cancer UK and International Rescue Committee, CRISIS: Turkey and Syria Earthquake. All the donations will go to the charities (less the usual fundraising platform fee). The team would be hugely grateful for any contributions, small or large. We also thank McKinsey colleagues who have donated via McKinsey Gives.
