Family Adventure Race - Southland
The Family Adventure Race is a team event held at Sandy Point, starting from Oreti Links Golf Course. It combines a trek (run or walk), mountain biking and an optional raft water activity. The course route and details are released on the day.
Teams cost $40 per team and may include up to four members; each team must have at least one parent or adult. Entries close the Saturday before the event at 5pm and no entries are accepted on the day.
Participants navigate around Sandy Point using a map and find clues along the route. Results are based on the number of correct answers and the time taken; teams do not need all answers to complete the event. The biking sections include tracks and offroad terrain, so bikes should be suitable for those surfaces. Inflatable kayaks, lifejackets and two paddles are supplied for the water section on calm water. The water activity is optional and the race can be completed without it.
Suggested personal items include a bike, helmet, walking shoes, a jacket, snacks, a drink bottle and possibly dry clothes and a towel for after the water activity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
