The Event

3 and 6 hour races, involving trekking/running, MTB and more.

3 hour trek/run option also available.

Designed so anybody can participate, from walkers to elite levels.

This year's event will be run on a traditional adventure race plan, where the controls (treasure) have to be found in a set order. There will be cut off times to ensure all teams finish in the same timeframe. At the finish line, there will be a BBQ, giving participants the chance to recount their adventure and question the organisers - 'What were you thinking?!'

​If we do the same things we have always done,  we will only ever do what we always have.
Let's get out there and 

give something different a go!

Proceeds will support local charities and sports clubs.
