AROC Sydney Olympic Park

AROC Sport / SleepMonsters Aus / 09.02.2006

Held in and around the Sydney Olympic Park, this event will provide the excitement of the Olympic village with the surrounds of the Parramatta River. And, for added excitement, this event will be held in the evening making the most of the night lights, and it starts and finishes at a pub.

First teams are expected to finish in 2.5 hours and everyone else should finish within 3 -4 hours. There is a cut off at 4.5 hours. For this event there is a bonus leg for the top teams finishing within a certain time. This means that everyone will get to be out in the dark!

Remember there are lots of different legs so there is never too long at any one discipline. If you add up the different legs the total distances will be between 4-6km kayaking, around 15-20km on the bike and between 7-10km on foot.

Disciplines include kayaking (kayaks, paddles and PFDs provided), mountain biking and running/walking and some surprises.( i did notice goggles in the mandatory gear, does this mean the aquatic centre waterslides will be tested out)

You will be given maps and instructions at registration and it is up to you to navigate from checkpoint to checkpoint. Remember the whole team travels together.
