Have you got what it takes? Come away from your sofa and swap your passive TV sports for real action! The real challenges await you outside, beyond your computer screen. We've compiled in this section some adrenaline pumping activities that will push the envelope of your suburban life and get you wet.
Have you ever crossed a river on a rope? Have you ever climbed up a steep gorge covered in a tropical rainforest? When did you last jump into a rock pool, swam fully clothed, capsized in a raft, cycled along a muddy forest track?
Adventure sports challenge your physical and mental conditioning in an environment that demands teamwork, while providing lots of good, but sometimes dirty, wet fun. They involve the unexpected, like a sudden soaking or swim. No two sports are the same. The events and terrain all change depending on the location and type of the activity.
Hear the water as it laps the shore, the birds, the engine of a boat. Feel the sand, its texture, its dampness and warmth. Feel the breeze move your hair, where it touches your cheek. Feel the sun on your face, its warmth and direction. Open your senses to all that is around you.
Adventure Racing combines trekking/trail running, mountain biking, paddling and navigation. And if that's not enough, teams are also expected to complete special tests that are located throughout the course.
Adventure Swimming includes rock jumping, coastal traversing and crossing rock pools, swimming along the beautiful coastline. You'll learn exciting new skills like swimming in clothes and water safety. Best of all, you'll get really close to nature. Swimming in rivers is an integral part of river walking, even on routes where it is possible to stay dry.
