WIMBLEDON is starting this Monday, but there are already opportunities for you to get in on the action.
In an ongoing expansion of its digital presence, the All English Lawn Tennis Club has teamed up with Fortnite to give you a unique opportunity.
The Race to Wimbledon Fortnite challenge has begun.
Using Fortnite’s custom island creation tools, they have created a new map called “Race to Wimbledon”.
This map features a mad dash around various London landmarks.
You’ll be running, driving, swimming, and leaping between rooftops to come out on top.
You’ll have to dodge some Wimbledon-themed obstacles along the way too, like giant tennis balls and strawberries blocking your path.
It all ends at center court, where you’ll cross the finish line and be hailed as a champion.
It’s not just a digital glory you’ll be getting though, as there is a chance for real prizes.
Beat Sir Andy Murray’s time of 4 minutes and 45 seconds on the course and you can be entered into a grand prize draw.
Take a picture of time your time and tweet it with “#racetowimbledon” and “#promotion” before July 16, 2023 to be entered into the draw.
You must also be following the official Wimbledon Twitter account so they can contact you if you win.
If you’re the lucky winner, you’ll receive a VIP Wimbledon Experience for 2024’s event.
This package includes a stay at a two-night stay four-star London hotel, a lunch and afternoon picnic, and most importantly, two tickets to the men’s singles final.
You can play this map on any console Fortnite is on, including PC, Xbox, Playstation, and Switch.
Enter the island code: 8443-5461-2402 to be taken to the island and have a go at the challenge.
If you happen to be going to Wimbledon this year, then there will also be stations in the Southern Village where you can play the race.
