MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVENT

General Information

This event is held roughly once per year and is an opportunity young people aged between 8 - 18 years old to take part as a team in an Adventure Race based on the international standard races held throughout the world. However the event is designed specifically for young competitors with particular emphasis on the safety of all participants.

The event is organised and run entirely by volunteers and takes many months to organise. Each year the event includes several new elements, however as the competitors do not know the route in advance there will be some surprises along the way. The course will include the following elements;

• Trail running
• Coasteering
• Water Jump
• Swimming (Less than 50m for Junior teams)
• Gorge Scrambling
• Rope Ladders, Cargo Nets & Fixed Lines
• Mountain Biking (Off road)
• Kayaking (Intermediate & Senior Teams only)
• High element skills (Seniors only - will use Safety Harnesses)
• Plus a range of mystery tests

Teams

Trophies will be awarded to the fastest teams in each age group for Boys, Girls and Mixed teams

Briefings and Bike Check and Registration

We will be holding full briefings about the event for all competitors, and we will also provide an additional briefing (without the competitors) for parents and volunteers where we will provide detailed information about the route and activities planned for the event.
