iROC - inov-8 Run Orienteer Cycle
Length: 0 miles
Location: Moorland, Open Countryside and Quarry Working
The very first iROCâ„¢ will take place on the 18th & 19th of April 2009.
iROC™ will be an innovative and exciting adventure racing weekend in the Durham Dales featuring six different races that will include mountain biking, running and orienteering. Points will be awarded for places and there will be a £2,000 prize pot for the overall winners across all six races!
Uniquely each of the races will have a mass start and will pass back through the event village at least once before finishing. This will ensure that iROC™ offers the best adventure race spectating ever seen in the UK. Each race will be between one and four hours long. They will be as hard as you make them… intense, or just challenging experiences that will contrast hugely with the relaxed, chilled-out atmosphere of the event village.
There will also be six mini races that will share the start and excitement of the main races, but they will be much shorter and designed for maximum fun and ideal for your friends and family, who may wish to do more than just spectate! The social focus for the weekend will be the Saturday night activities, which will include three night races (bring your headtorch!), live music and a late bar
There will be a simple charging structure that will include race entry, camping, parking and access to the Saturday night entertainment. You can choose to race as an individual or as a team of 3. If you enter as a team your individual scores in each race will be added together to create a team score.
iROC will be held at Eastgate in the Durham Dales at a brilliant new venue, which has never had public access before, let alone an adventure race! This venue is a former cement works site that is surrounded by stunning moorland. The site itself is largely hidden from view but is complete with a large quarry, steep hillsides with complex contour features, forest and a perfect event village location at the bottom of the valley.
Whether you choose to compete in one or all six of the races, we guarantee an ‘a la carte menu’ of extremely well organised, high quality adventure racing.
There is an early bird discount for all entries received before the 31st December 2008.
We look forward to seeing you there… Mountain Biking Navigation Trail Running/Walking Entry Fee( GBP ) 200/70
