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 and orienteering together with a water based challenge to finish; the emphasis of the event is team work although for the first time we are also permitting individual entries. It is definitely not an elite event as we would like to encourage everyone to have a go!
The main challenge is for teams of 3, which must contain at least one woman, 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.
The entry for the team event is the ‘Adventure Class’ and 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.
In addition to the team challenge we have widened the event to include individual entries (the ‘Endurance Class’) which should be for more experienced competitors and for which there will be prizes for the fastest man and woman.
