The Race of a Lifetime

The event consists of about 6 hours of non stop adventure with three main stages and has been designed not only to test your fitness level but your mind as well. The course has been created to include different stages including; mountain biking, running, orienteering and secret disciplines; the emphasis of the event is team work.  It is definitely not an elite event as we would like to encourage everyone to have a go!

The challenge is for teams of 3 (mixed teams as well as all male or female teams), to travel together through all stages, competing against the clock, and collecting bonuses from the different checkpoints reached. The team with the most points and fastest time will win the event. An important part of the event will be to plan your tactics for the day to maximise points collected in the available time and managing your equipment and food intake during the race – we would highly recommend you arrive early to maximise planning time.

This year there will be two entry categories: mixed teams and single sex teams.  The course is designed for everybody from first timers to experienced adventure racers.  This will be a highly rewarding ‘team building’ event held in some of Scotland’s finest scenery.
