Maximum Adventure

the course

 

Course Overview

 

The overall objective of the Kathmandu Adventure Series is for you and your teammate to have fun, and complete the designated course (together, no relays) in the minimum amount of time possible, by visiting each of the checkpoints in turn by foot, bike or kayak.

 

The course itself is kept secret until the day of the race, only to be revealed at registration, when you will be issued with your maps and race instructions.

 

Sometimes the maps will be pre-marked, other times you will need to copy the checkpoints off a master map. The race instructions will tell you in what order to collect the checkpoints and what equipment you can use.

 

Either way it's worth turning up early to give your team plenty of time for planning.

 

A typical course might involve:

 

  • Leg 1: 2km trail run
  • Leg 2: 10km MTB
  • Leg 3: 1km kayak
  • Leg 4: 5km MTB
  • Leg 5: 5km trail run
  • Leg 6: 7km MTB
  • Leg 7: Finishing with a 2km kayak.

 

Just to keep you on your toes, a natural obstacle or two (e.g. mystery discipline, creek crossing etc.) may be thrown into the mix to add a little extra spice and adventure to the course, so be prepared for the unexpected!
