Canberra
The third event of the Paddy Pallin Adventure Race Series and the second and last one in Canberra gives participants the opportunity to enjoy Canberra in the Summer with sun galore: don't miss it!
The course is secret until you pick up your maps at registration. But what we will tell you is that there are lots of different legs so there is never too long at any one discipline. For the Classic Course, if you add up the different legs the total distances will be up to 4km kayaking, around 15-20km on the bike and between 7-10km on foot. The Novice Course is about half the Classic Course distances. The Advanced Course will include a bonus leg and is available to the top 30 teams or those that finish the Classic Course within a certain time.
Disciplines include kayaking (kayaks, paddles and PFDs provided), mountain biking and running/walking and some surprises. 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.
You can compete in the Corporate Challenge by emailing Alina and asking to be entered in this additional category. Your team will then contend with other corporate teams for the Corporate Challenge and the well-deserved bragging rights on Monday morning (leaving you Sunday to take care of these muscle aches!). To enter this category you must satisfy the following 2 criteria: at least 2 out of 3 of the team members must be from the same company and your team name must integrate your company's name.
Entry confirmation and any further event information not contained on the web site will be emailed to the Team Captain. It is the Team Captains' responsibility to pass this information on to their team members.
