To Helly and back

Helly Hansen Adventure Race dates announced

Looking for a challenge? Helly Hansen has finally announced its Adventure Race Series involving five one-day races with a mix of physical disciplines and teamwork. The teams, made up of three people, must work together and stay together throughout the race, which is made up of three parts; trail running (10k), mountain biking (25k) and canoeing in an inflatable kayak on flat water (1.5k). The order of activities will only be announced on the day, and there will be a few challenges thrown in between circuits to keep competitors on their toes.

There’s going to be team prizes for  the winners of each individual race, and also one for the winners that take pole position in the overall series. Team entry is £135 per event and there are early entry incentives and other discounts available for clubs entering 5 or more groups.

Five dates have been announced between September 2009 and March 2010 – check the website for more information. www.hellyhansen.com
