Paddy Pallin Adventure Race Series

Diane Chanut - AROC Sport / 09.08.2009

Tired of riding the same old roads and running the same bit of bitumen? Ready to ditch the chips and get off the couch to get back into shape? There are so many reasons people get into adventure racing and those are only a few of them! Adventure Racing is a fun team sport including mountain biking, trail running and paddling. To add an extra twist to the adventure, swimming, coasteering or rope work is sometimes thrown in the mix. <br /> <br /> Each discipline is broken down into short legs so you never get bored before you switch to another discipline. You also never know in which order you will be tackling each discipline as each event is unique in its location and design. <br /> <br /> Teams of 3 adventurers use a map and compass to find their way through a secret course, going from checkpoint to checkpoint, using their brain as much as their muscles to complete the race. To come out on top teams need to demonstrate that they can adapt on the go, work as a team, think on their feet and more importantly that they can keep a smile on their dial while doing it!
