Christmas Shopping Balloon Race (virtual)

This event has now passed. Please register your interest for next year's event.

Join our virtual Christmas Shopping balloon race to fund research and support people living with macular disease.

Buy and design your balloon, then sit back and watch as it races from Harrods, London!

You'll be blown away by how simple it is to get involved:

1. Buy a balloon or gift one to a friend or relative (£3 each) - you'll be asked to create an account so they know who each balloon belongs to
2. Decorate your balloon and change its flight parameters
3. Sit back and watch your balloon as it races from Harrods, London

Race starts 12 noon, 1 December 2023 and runs for 7 days. How far will your balloon travel to Beat Macular Disease?

Ecoracing is an internet based, virtual balloon race that uses real weather data and interactive mapping for real-time flight path tracking. No wildlife is harmed, climate change isn't affected and there's no litter!

Please share and invite your family and friends to join our balloon race. We can't wait to see this take off and fill the sky with Macular Society balloons!
