What is
“Adventure Racing is a true
test of the human condition
and spirit and one of few
extreme sports that showcases
the extraordinary
power of teamwork.” Says
Mike Clarke
Lilyfontein School has been
hosting the annual Adventure
Race since 2000. This race
caters for all ages and fitness
levels.
Adventure Racing is a fast
growing sport that incorporates
navigational, mental and
physical challenges. Teams of 4,
with at least 1 member of the
opposite gender, compete in
various age categories with a
unique distance and set of obstacles
to complete. Winning
in an adventure race requires
more than just speed and fitness.
The race requires the
team to navigate through several
activities to reach specific
check points along the way.
There is a healthy support
of entries in the Grade 1-3
and Grade 4-5 divisions. This
is attributed to eagerness of
both learners and parents to
participate and support from
local schools.
The Family Fun category is
targeted to families, friends
and colleagues that want to
participate but do not want
to “kill” themselves whilst
participating; this is a relaxed
and fun category to cater for
all levels of fitness.
The Lilyfontein Adventure
race is a Provincial Qualifier
for U13, U15, U19 age categories
and the winners in these
divisions are invited to participate
in the Annual South African
Adventure Racing Championships
The Corporate divisions invite
friends and fitness bunnies
to explore the local area
and apply all their skills to
compete in the premium division
in the event.
