Hello,

Does anyone know of anywhere i might be able to find some kind of team challange event where you do a combination of hiking, mountain biking and kayaking or similar. Ive been Googling but all im finding is like 3 Peaks and corporate “raft building” guff. I want like a 2 day semi-competitive/charity challange kind of thing.

About 10 years ago i worked for Land Rover and they put on a massive event and it was awesome to compete in. They were big enough to do the whole thing themselves but i want my work to enter a team or two to compete against others and can probably get sponsorship.

Being as loads of you enter MTB only events i wondered if anyone had come accross something like this?

Try Sleep Monsters for all your adventure racing needs. Depends on how extreme you want to go there is anything from 5/8 hour short races to week long epics. The rat race is always a good bet – if you do Bristol / Edinburgh you get out in the countryside.

the Helly Hansen adventure race series is always a very good start

MTB bit of a run bit Kayaking + some assault course type bits sometimes too depending on the course/location, no map reading on those
2.5 hours for the pros up to 5-6 hours for plodders, always a good day out
or EnduranceLife events

or there’s TrailAthlons off road Tri’s

+ loads of AR which will have map reading too, sleepmonsters is the one stop shop for all of it really

go to challengerworld for the UK and Europe challenges. A good laugh, but not cheap. Approx 5k team entry fee and then about another 2- 3 K on flights out and van hire etc for the euro one.

Rat Race!!! I’m hoping to enter for the Sat & Sunday next year. 😀

Cheers for the info guys – the sleepmonsters site is really good. Found a couple of decent ones for work and a couple of ones for me to do too. result!

I want to get something that most people at work can have a go at with a bit of training. Dont want to go all “elite athlete” mainly because i’m not one!!
