Adventure Racing

Adventure Racing is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, with a great human interest factor and growing media coverage.

Adventure racing is a team sport where typically 4 team members (of mixed gender) stay together while they navigate a course that is disclosed to them only hours prior to the race start. The core disciplines that make up an adventure race are mountain biking, kayaking, trekking and navigation. Each race also introduces different/specialist challenges which can include such activities as swimming, coasteering (coastal running), shooting, ropes work, rock climbing, rafting and even rollerblading.

The courses are usually set to be completed in 6, 12, 24, 48 or 120 hours. The most popular of which is the 24 hour races, with the shorter distances becoming more popular recently with novices and those training for the longer events.

The courses are usually set in scenic areas and typically take competitors to places they would never have gone to normally.

Some great racing at the KEEN Alps to Ocean Adventure race in Victoria, Australia. Anna and Stu had a great race to win the mixed category and take out 2nd overall behind another Kiwi team of Chris Forne and Gordon Walker. Brent and Wayne were also racing at the pointy end of the field however unfortunately had to pull out on the third day of racing due to injury. A highly enjoyable race in a stunning location - definitely looking forward to returning next year.

Next up we have the 24hr Race in Whakatane which will be our last local shakedown before we head to the Turas adventure race in Ireland in June.
