Team Gijima is presenting a 45km adventure race in February in the Cullinan area. The event invites teams of two and three to take on their course, which includes running, biking, a short swim (100m), an abseil and a surprise discipline. The entry fee is R150.00pp and entries can be done online.
Popularised by television coverage of Mark Burnett’s Eco Challenge events, adventure racing is no longer an obscure extreme sport. In a classical sense, adventure racing is a multi-discipline multi-day endurance sport where competitiors compete in teams of four, navigating from checkpoint to checkpoint to cover vast areas in a number of disciplines. Sprint and short course categories now exist, luring those hesitant adventurers out for a morning or day of gloriously dirty, off-road fun.
