What is the Kids Challenge?
Kids Challenge offers kids, ages approx 6 through 13, the opportunity to experience the joy of adventure racing.
They will race in a team of two, on foot, by bike and on water hunting down checkpoints.
The race emphasises teamwork, problem solving, sportsmanship, environmental awareness and fun. The kids cross the finish line, sweaty, smiling, full of pride, hopefully a little dirty and tired and maybe a little bit wet!
Try New Things
Would your kids like to try a sporting challenge that’s a little bit different and gets them into the outdoors with their friends? Get them to take on our Kids Challenge. They can expect to Kayak*, Bike and Run/Walk their way around the course, in a two-person team. They complete the whole race together working together and encouraging each other on the way. A great chance to be independent and think on their feet!
We expect that many kids may not have tried kayaking. This is OK. The kayak part of the course will be quite short and we will have plenty of safety people on the course. There will also be some optional “practise” days advertised in advance for children who want to have a go before the big day.
*Kayaking equipment will be provided for the race
