Ex RACING ICE 1 (Ex RI 1) is the annual Army Novice Ice Camp to be held in Lillehammer, Norway. The exercise comprises of two individual training weeks that are identical.
Week 1 – 03 – 09 Nov 24
Week 2 – 10 – 16 Nov 24
Regiments and Corps from across the Army can send participants to learn how to Bobsleigh, Skeleton or Luge Bobsleigh in a professional, yet fun environment. Some individuals will be selected to represent their units at Ex RACING ICE 2 (Ex RI 2) which is the Army Novice, Junior and Senior Championship. Those selected will be issued with an administration instruction upon return to their base location. Those successful at Ex RI 2 will stand a good chance of being selected to represent the Army at the Inter Service Championships.
Participants are only able to practice one of the three disciplines during their time in resort. All participants must be current members of the AWSA (£15 per year). Failure to adhere to this will result in your application being rejected. Up to five Army Sport Lottery (ASL) tickets can be used to get £125 off (£25 per ticket) the entry fee, but participants must become members of the ASL and buy their tickets NLT by Fri 27 Sep 24 in order for this deduction to apply. All members who buy/increase their lottery tickets within 6 months of claiming an ASL grant must retain the same number of tickets for 12 months from the date of the activity. Cancelling or reducing the number of tickets after the event will result in the grant being rejected or revoked.
