Varied, Surprising, Sublime From Start to Finish - Réunion d’Aventure
29.11.2011
We will take the competitors to the heart of La Réunion, including a breathtaking canyon of twelve abseils which is little known, as well as some totally unexpected paths. The race route will be kept secret and won’t be revealed to the racers until Friday, May 11th, two days before the race start that will take place at dawn on Sunday, May 13th, with the winners predicted to cross the finish line on May 18th.
<b>The Pleasure of a Variety of Disciplines</b>
The means of progression will be numerous, varied and fun. For the first time in the history of Réunion d’Aventures, here’s the sequence: sea kayak, MTB, bushwhacking, technical canyoning, bushwhacking, MTB descent, MTB, bushwhacking, technical canyoning, hiking or trail running, MTB, ride and run (to be confirmed), bushwhacking, caving, MTB hiking or trail running, MTB, canyoning, MTB, abseil ...
<b>From Extreme to Accessible</b>
Let’s be frank, the competitors who are aiming for the ranking 'Extreme' will be fulfilled but we also want those who aren’t as strong, or those who may have experienced a problem during the race, to be able to complete the adventure. Therefore the race route 'Aventure' will be very accessible. In between the two, the route 'Raide' will be a satisfying goal for most teams.
<b>No Time to Lose to Register</b>
Several teams have already registered. Many others have expressed their intention to do so, including a number of whom have already completed the adventure and want to come back for more. We’d like to remind you, however, that for your registration to take effect, you must fill out the forms (even if your team is not yet complete) that you will find on our new <a href="#" onClick="javascript:newsitewindow('http://www.authentiqueaventure.com')" class="main">website</a> and send a deposit of 300€.
On the website you’ll also find a list of required skills.
<b>The Package</b>
We’re striving to offer you as soon as possible a package including round trip travel Paris-Saint-Denis-Paris with an extra luggage allowance and two MTBs, van hire for 9 days and lodging at the start and at the finish of the race. We think that we’ll exceed as little as possible the cost of the package for the fifth edition which was 3500€.
<b>New Website</b>
We have a new website that has just been launched and the English version will follow shortly. Take a look and watch some magnificent videos from previous editions.
The website will enable us to provide tremendous amounts of information and images during the race, as well as continual tracking of the teams using a satellite tracking system.
