Adventurerace
WHAT IS ADVENTURERACE?
Maybe you think adventureracing is all about running, cycling and swimming. You are completely wrong there! Adventure race is a sport that extends far beyond running, cycling and swimming. In fact, adventure racing is one of the few multi-sport forms where you really get to experience the importance of team spirits.
You cannot get through a race without your teammates, team effort and team spirit. Together, you must solve various challenges that will test you both physically and mentally. Can the team keep a cool head while the pulse is pumping at high pressure and you have to solve a difficult riddle or puzzle? Hopefully, with a little help from a friend. Cooperation and communication are key factors for your team’s path to victory.
