Back in 1996 we delivered
New Zealand's inaugural 24 Hour Adventure Race. The
idea was for a few mates to do a bit of training for
the Southern Traverse. Now, a few years on, we have
developed a series of events for people wanting more
challenge, more adventure and less speed! The Arrow
International 24 Hour Adventure Series is about teams
sharing experiences while venturing into the unknown.
A non-stop adventure race for two and four person teams,
open and mixed, as well as relay teams who navigate
their way through a secret pre-set course.
Include
trekking, mountain biking, navigating and kayaking.
Fastest and slowest times to complete the event are
expected to take 15 to 24 hours respectively. All activities
are of an intermediate level and no certificates or
qualifications are required to enter. Competitors must
however have a moderate level of fitness and have some
experience in each discipline.
are kept secret
up to the event briefing. Once the course is disclosed
teams must map their own route to include all checkpoints
and transitions to complete the course. All team members
must remain together at all times. Don't forget,
behind every great team there is a fantastic, well organised
support crew who are vital to your success. Each team
is responsible for the organisation of their own kayaks
and bikes. This includes getting kayaks and bikes to
and from the transition points, moving gear, food and
drink and providing the all-important moral support.
We can forward you to kayak and bike hire companies
if required.
Teams
are required to register on the Friday evening prior
to the event. Teams will be required to show all compulsory
equipment and complete administration formalities. Registration
will include the race briefing and the release of the
course. |
