De Lowe Alpine Battle of the SACs (BOTS) is an annual 20 hour adventure race organised by one of the dutch Students Alpine Clubs(SAC\'s. The battle is fought running, biking, paddling, and/orkick-biking. But don\'t forget to think clearly! The battle starts friday evening at 11:00 pm. Finish will be on sataurday around 5 pm.

The BOTS is an annual event, organised by the winning SAC of last year. In 2007 the Eindhoven Students Alpine Club (ESAC) team the \'Harry\'s uit
het Zuiden\' won. This means the 2008 edition of the BOTS (the first lustrum!) will start and finish in Eindhoven. The race itselve will
cross the most beautifull and challenging spots in the region, including forests, moor, and...

Estimated distances: 15-25 km running, 80-100 km mountainbiking, 10-15km canoeing and 15 km kick-biking. All within ca. 20 hours. This means the BOTS surely is a challenge. Still participating isn\'t just for the best-of-the-best. Smart thinking and navigating can be quite profitable
both in time and distance. Besides that we BOTS is designed in a way that the less fast teams can do all the special tasks as well. These
special tasks might have something to do with climbing/alpinism(climbing, bouldering, \'pieps\', prusikken, … ).
