Project Bikecam is currently putting together a team to compete in the Starlight Children's Foundation Great Adventure Challenge a charitable fundraising adventure race.

 

Each Adventurer Team consists of 8 members, which must include at least one person from the opposite sex and at any one time there will be 4 team members on the course whilst the remaining 4 will act as "support crew".

 

The event is about working, training and competing together as a team, across a course designed to test and push your limits.


The brief is to Expect the unexpected – as well as physical and mental challenge, the race promises to deliver an event that is fresh, upbeat and above all fun.


At transitions, the teams recharge, review strategy and rotate who is on the course and who is in the support crew.

 

 

The Great Adventure Challenge is designed to improve teamwork, communications and leadership skills as well as be fun while raising funds for a good cause and it includes the following :

 

Mountain Biking – 35km approx predominately off road. A mixture of fire trails and single track where available. Nothing too technical.

Trail running - 15km approx - a mixture of fire trails and walking tracks with a bit of cross country thrown in for good measure.

Kayaking - 10km approx - in two person sit on top kayaks. Generally in protected waters.

Coasteering - 2km approx - hugging the shore line on foot finding the best route around, over and under obstacles. May involve some water jumps or short swims.

Mystery Tasks - Teams will meet mystery tasks at different points of the course, testing both the brain and body.

Navigation - Adventurers will need to hone their navigation skills to help them collect all the checkpoints in the minimum time possible.

Vital fundraising – Time bonuses will be awarded for achieving certain pre set fundraising targets.

 

Starlight is a Large well known Charity and being able to compete in an event like this will be a great experience !

 

The event is scheduled for October 23 and I almost have a complete team so watch this space for future updates and event footage from the Cams the team will be carrying.
