What is Cambridge Rag?


What is Cambridge Rag?

Cambridge Rag organises many fun events throughout the year for students to support local, national, and international charities. These charities are reelected every year by students.

RAG puts on some of the biggest events in Cambridge, helping you find love through Blind Date, getting you Lost, breaking you out of the Cambridge bubble in Jailbreak and much, much more. College RAG reps also put on college events: from pub quizzes in your college bar to Halloween parties to dRAG shows! They also offer challenges, such as the 2017-18 Trek Machu Picchu challenge with ChildReach International, or the 2017-18 RUNDERPANTS mile run with Neuro Foundation!
