Race raises $200 for charity
A Woy Woy man has raised $200 for charity by holding an adventure race in Glenworth Valley.
The race was held in three parts and comprised a navigation race, a kayak race and a mystery event which involved a 50 metre "slip and slide".
"My wife and I have had this idea for a while, but it wasn't until we found our name, Adrenathon, that we decided it was time to put it into action.
"The feeling of satisfaction, pride and awe we felt when we were able to do something out of the ordinary is something that I think everyone should have an opportunity to experience.
"Adrenathon can give people that," he said.
"The feeling that they are pushing themselves harder than they thought possible in some tasks then having a huge belly laugh at a crazy silly challenge the next moment.
"I love an adventure and I thought people would too.
"They just can't always go out and be Bear Grills.
"So I wanted to bring a little bit of adventure to them," he said.
Mr Uriel said he has had some great feedback from competitors and the "turnout was perfect".
The day raised $200 for the Give Me 5 For Kids Foundation.
