We're heading to the World Championship — help us get to South Africa

It's official — TOW Rakovník has qualified for the Tug of War World Championship! The championship takes place on 16–19 September 2026 in Mossel Bay, South Africa, and we intend to be there.

An eleven-strong squad is making the trip — a men's team and a mixed team (4 men and 4 women). Two of our pullers were also invited to compete for the South African club SA Gazelles. For a small club from Rakovník, it's a huge step.

But getting to the other side of the world isn't free. So we've launched a public fundraiser on Donio to cover flights, transport, accommodation and registration. If we raise more than we need, part of the money will go to a dog shelter.

How can you help?

• Contribute to our fundraiser on Donio.cz.
• Watch the team explain it in our video on Instagram.
• Share the campaign with your friends — every share gets us closer.

You'll find all the details and the live fundraising progress on our Support us page. Thank you for helping us represent Czechia and Rakovník on the other side of the world!
