I was introduced to Adventure racing over a year ago and absolutely fell in love with them . There is all different types of distance covering 3 different disciplines from Trail / Mountain runs to Road bike and Kayaking. And distances from 19k to 77 km in total covering all 3 disciplines.
There is always a great buzz and huge sense of achievement when you look back up a huge hill and realise you just climbed that thing .
All events supply the Kayaks and lifevests and there is always lots of lifeguards etc . You only need a good pair of trail runners and a bike . I'm Entered into 5 of the list below and hope to do Scar and Sea 2 Summit also . Myself and David Tully finished in the middle of the top 100 last year in the National Points Series ( your best 4 results is what counts )
