Outdoor sport challenge

An outdoor sporting challenge is to be held on September 16 at Ettalong Beach.

The challenge is 2.5 to 5.5 hours long.

Teams of three navigate a secret course by foot, mountain bike and kayak, using their wits as they travel from one checkpoint to the next.

They ride, run, paddle and sometimes even swim in multiple short stages.

It is open to anyone with basic fitness, whatever gender, age or size.

Only simple navigation is required.

Kayaks, paddles, life jackets, maps and race instructions are all provided.

Participants are asked to bring team mates, a mountain bike and compass.

Prizes will be awarded for the first three placers in each category, mixed, female and male, and lots of spot giveaways will also be handed out for those who stay at the post-race presentation.

For further information is available from the Adventure Racing and Outdoor Challenge organisation.

Entries can be made online at www.arocsport.com.au, are limited and close Tuesday, September 12.
