Help David Represent GB at the World University Games

Hi, my name is David Race, and I'm proud to announce that I've officially been selected to represent GB students at the FISU World University Games 2025 in Rhine Ruhr, Germany this July!

It would be a honour to represent GB students at these championships, competing against some of the best student-athletes from around the world. However, in order to compete, I'm required to cover a "cost of participation fee". Unfortunately, this cost will not be funded by my university or by British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS), who have confirmed they will not be offering financial support for athlete participation this year. As a result, I need to raise the necessary funds independently in order to be eligible to compete.

As an unfunded athlete, representing the GB students team and competing on a world stage would be a huge opportunity, and it's why I'm reaching out for your support. These opportunities are what truly bring to life the countless hours spent training, competing and travelling to races within and outside the UK. From local meets, to racing internationally, I have competed in athletics for more than 11 years, with recent achievements including: 2x English National u20 Champion, 4x BUCS medalist, and European u20 4x400m Champion in 2023.

Any contributions will help cover:

Any support, whether through a small donation or by simply sharing this would be greatly appreciated. Competing at the World University Games would be a major step in my athletics journey, and your generosity will directly make this incredible opportunity possible.

Thank you so much for reading and supporting me and for being part of this exciting journey to Rhine-Ruhr 2025!
