Four friends are set to take part in a driving challenge dressed as characters from the 80’s Scooby Doo cartoon.

Scott Boraston, Graham Wilde, Steven Buckley and Matt McGinley, from Kidderminster, are taking part in The Rat Run 2026, a charity rally where teams drive a 1,300-mile route from the UK to Benidorm, Spain, in cars worth no more than a few hundred pounds.

They are taking part in memory of John Wilde, Graham’s brother, who took his own life earlier this year.

They are hoping to raise money for a new, local mental health community centre set to open within the next couple of months, Boraston said.

The group have decorated the vehicle to make it look like the Mystery Machine and hope it will get them to their final destination in September.

They will be stopping at five destinations during the 1,300 mile challenge before getting a police escort into Benidorm. More than 200 other cars are expected to take part.

All vehicles are tested with Top-Gear style challenges along the way.
