The Adventure Challenge is likely to include the following activities
Running:
The race will begin with a mass running start from the front of Drumlanrig Castle.
Kayaking:
After collection of the kayaks, teams will follow a designated route around a large hill loch.
Mountain Biking:
This will be your main mode of transport for the majority of the day. Drumlanrig is a world-class mountain biking venue and we have planned some exceptional trails that will take you through some breathtaking terrain.
We will also have some exhilarating downhill sections to test the best mountain bikers that wish to push themselves to the max, while also being forgiving to the less experienced biker. It has been constructed to challenge you at all levels of expertise!
Orienteering:
Teams will need to complete an orienteering course on foot that will involve locating control points on land using different features. Time to brush up on those map reading skills!
Aerial Rope Activities:
This is one of the most exhilarating experiences you are likely to have on any adventure race, travelling 50m above the rapids of the river Nith on a 100 metre long Tyrolean Bridge with your bike, it's truly unforgettable. View our Challenge Video to see more!
Secret Disciplines
: This is time to use some brainpower, instead of leg power! These challenges are devised to benefit the accurate and sharp teams and cannot be rushed. No more to be said or the secret will be out.
