Three lucky teams of two have beaten hundreds of applicants to take on the challenge to reach Munich first for the opening game of the European Championships on June 14, when Scotland face tournament hosts Germany.
Aberdeen dad William Wallace, will join daughter Beth Wallace as they compete against Tartan Army members Ewan Oman and Chris Gibson from Peterhead; and Paisley duo Euan McLelland and Paul Mullan in the intense Tennent's Lager Get to Germany race this summer.The lucky chosen few have beaten off 750 applicants to take part in the nail-biting dash from Glasgow to Munich for the curtain-raiser.
