Race Description
The race incorporates multiple stages - a short run, raft building, mountain biking, the low ropes challenge and archery. Within each stage there are a range of checkpoints for each team to visit and/or a range of goals to achieve. Each checkpoint and goal has a value and the winners will be the team that have accumulated the most points within the time limit.
The race is continuous; transition between stages is all part of the race. It is up to your team how many checkpoints you choose to visit. All you need to do is visit at least one checkpoint in each stage to avoid a penalty. This format gives your team maximum flexibility. You can play to your strengths, choose your own route and even change your race plan midway through! The team must stay together throughout the race.
The courses are set to provide a great deal of route choice and to cover the best parts of the Purbeck Hills. Many teams reach between 50 and 75% of the checkpoints. Only the strongest teams will cover all the checkpoints in any stage.
We will be using the latest electronic scoring system which enables quick and simple recording of your visits to each checkpoint and your overall score and time.
