Come one, come all to the first ever Chelonians for Charity race! What is this? A race for charity? How odd!
But how does it work, you ask? And what in the world is a Chelonian? Simple: A Chelonian is a member of the reptile family that includes turtles and tortoises. Each nation that chooses to register (paying a flat entry fee of $10 or the equivalent in national currency) fields a Chelonian (in this case, turtle) jockey in the form of their national animal. For example, the Free People of The Shoebox (who will not participate for reasons of fairness) would mount a crimson canary (special arrangements can be made for over-sized national animals).
Also, any nation wishing to sell a national product such as cheese may pay $50 (or equivalent) for a stall and attempt to hock their wares to race goers and jockeys alike.
All proceeds (both entry fees and payment for stalls) will be donated to a charity (not military operation or government fund) of the winner’s selection. The event, taking place in Rimfall, will be hosted by the Free People of The Shoebox on January 3 with the introductions taking place at 2100 EST (0200 GMT) and the race kicking off at 2130 EST (0230 GMT).
So sign up immediately - registration ends three hours before the race begins! (To register, please leave the name and species of your jockey – MUST be national animal – the charity you wish to support, and the $10/equivalent fee; to procure a stall, please leave the name of your product and the $50/equivalent – there will be no sale of live merchandise).
Thank you,
