Adventure Racing

Adventure Racing

null

Adventure Racing is about fitness, navigation and team work and can involve trail-running, mountain biking and many more outdoor activities, such as paddling and rock climbing.

Our code is set around races (no weekly competitions) – so can fit in around students other commitments, or as a main sport.
Orienteering is undergoing massive growth in numbers and has just been admitted to Aims Games.

Selection Process

Our code is built around races – no regular weekly commitments. Anyone can try, you don’t need to be the fastest runner/mountain biker.
