LOST 2026 is Warwick RAG’s flagship charity challenge and one of the university’s biggest fundraising events of the year. On Saturday 21st November 2026 (Week 7, Term 1), 200 students will be dropped off in two secret UK cities, then race back to campus in 24 hours without spending any money.

You can get back by taking advantage of a mix of free trains, buses, coaches, accommodation, food and hitchhiking. How? You would be surprised what confidence and charisma can get you!

LOST is a team-based adventure (2 to 4 people recommended) that pushes you to think on your feet, test your limits and make unforgettable memories. This year, we’re fundraising for Brain Research UK, supporting life-saving research into brain tumours, brain and spinal cord injury, and headache and facial pain.

Safety is our number one priority. Participants will download a location tracking app, and a team on campus will monitor the progress of all participants for the entire event. We’ll make regular calls throughout the day to check you’re safe and progressing, and the campus team will be available 24/7 for advice and guidance.

Taking place after reading week, LOST is the perfect way to kick off the second half of term. Make it back in 24 hours and you’ll arrive around midday Sunday, with plenty of time to sleep before Monday morning lectures. Past destinations have included Brighton (2025), Cardiff (2024), Liverpool (2023) and Southampton (2022), but where will you end up this year?

The minimum fundraising target is £50 per person.

Get ready to get LOST, and find your way back for a cause that truly matters. Do you have what it takes?
