80,000 ticket holders will converge for the event, throwing their support behind teams from all over the UK.

Anyone can enter a team, as long as entrants are aged over 16 and can convince three of their friends that it's worth jumping off a 20ft high ramp into the cold waters of The Serpentine!

Tickets are free and distributed on a ballot basis. To find out more details on how to enter a team and to download an application form simply go to www.redbullflugtag.co.uk.
