The Helly Hansen Adventure Challenge Series is a team-adventure journey that will involve off-road running, mountain biking and kayak canoeing. There will also be some special extra challenges thrown in for good measure!
All in all, it will be a unique adventure experience that will put smiles on your face if not a little sweat and mud on the your brow!
.
So what is involved?Firstly, it is a team event involving three people. You can enter as an all-male, all-female or mixed team, but all three of you must stay together at all times and all three of you will do all of the activities and challenges together.
As a general guide expect to run or jog for about 10km. That's between 6 and 7 miles in old money.
You'll cover up to 25 km of mountain biking and possibly up to 1.5km of kayak canoeing but don’t think it is just as simple as this.
We like to add a few surprises and break up your journey so please don't assume that you will do each activity all in one go. And no, we won't be telling you in advance! You'll only find out the exact sequence of activities on the morning of each Challenge Series event.
We expect the elite teams to take perhaps two and a half hours. Most teams take between 3 – 4 hours and many will be happy to get around the Challenge in their own time...
Our events always start at 10.00am with a pre-event registration open from 08.00am.
What equipment do we need?Everything is included in your team entry fee APART from your mountain bike and helmet (helmets are obligatory). For this Series you'll be enjoying our brand new fleet of three-seater inflatable canoes. Paddles and obligatory buoyancy aids are also included.
Every course is extensively marked so you don't need to worry about getting lost, leaving you to concentrate on enjoying what's around the next corner without worrying where the next corner is!
