"The worst kept secret in Adventure Racing"

[MariaD]

Apparently Open Adventure are holding a three day Coast to Coast Adventure Race next year! :D It's not on the website yet, but I have it on very good authority (i.e. the Open Adventure email newsletter).

Who's up for it? The dates are 28th - 30th August 2009, and with that much notice you can hardly claim you haven't got time to train....

is that the 180 mile coast to coast from st bees head ?

[Ollie]

What sort of race is it? Bike? Running? 180 miles would probably kill me! Are you thinking of entering it Maria? :p My view on your sanity might change depending on your answer... :D

3 days running, thats 60 miles a day! I know somone who ran offa's dyke which is about the same distance in 3 1/2 days.

[MariaD]

It's not all running - there'll be MTB and kayak stages, and probably swimming, caving, climbing etc. as well! Maybe even road biking...

Entries aren't open yet, but I very much doubt it'll be open for solo entries - it'll be for pairs or teams. I just need to persuade someone else that it's a good idea.

it does sound pretty hardcore, really dont know if i could make a commitment. Who knows what next summer might bring!
As it is i think i might be heading to israel
