Try Adventure Racing

Life Goal Overview

To take part in an Adventure Race and hopefully complete it as part of a team or solo attempt at Adventure Racing.

What inspired me to do this?

I used to watch Adventure Racing on SKY TV every chance I had, usually down in New Zealand I'd watch teams battle the elements, terrain and their bodies in a full 24+ hour ordeal which was adventure racing. Everything about it appealed to me, the extreme environment, the extreme challenges put in front of the participating teams.
There is something about adventure racing I can't explain that draws me to it, perhaps participating in a race will help me answer that question but for now I can only be inspired and hope I'll one day throw myself into the extreme and understand this sport respectively.

Charities

No charities are involved in this Life Goal at this time.

Planning & Details

There are no solid plans down yet, I have seem that Questars run several UK based adventure races, one of which is in Wales. I quite liked their format which included kayaking which is a favoured discipline of mine.
I will however research this topic further and concentrate on my other life goals such as running and triathlon which will all help build my fitness for an adventure race.

Who can get involved?

I am very eager to talk to anyone with adventure racing experience or knowledge of races around the UK and Wales. To get involved or give sound advice about this adventure please contact James King through this website. or alternatively follow me on twitter.
