KE Adventure Race

Come and enjoy a fun-filled 5 hour timed Adventure Race (powered by KE Adventure Travel) for Solos or Pairs which includes Trail Running, Mountain Biking, and Navigation. Visit as many checkpoints as you can which have varying point values within a 5 hour time limit.

The checkpoints and their corresponding points values will be marked up on a map and provided to you at the start of the race.

Winners are those with the highest points after any late penalties. You can start any time between a window of 8.30am and 10am on Sunday 18th May and you can choose whether to run or bike first; and you only transition between disciplines once.

You’ll need a dibber for each person to use at the checkpoints. You can hire one when you enter for an additional £3.50 or you can use your own dibbers.

“Adventure is not outside man; it is within” George Eliot.

CONTINGENCY PLAN

It is possible that events and courses at KMF may need to be amended at short notice due to weather issues, water levels, road conditions or roadworks.

By nature, many of these factors are not possible to know well in advance. For each event there are a number of alternative options available which can be implemented at short notice. The organisers and race directors will always have athlete and spectator safety as the highest priority, and within that context will seek to provide the best possible experience.

All sporting events would be impacted if the Event Village has to be closed. In this instance, as long as circumstances allow, all starts and finishes would be relocated to Lake Road and Lakeside Car Park and the events operated as smoothly as possible.

A bad weather route will be implemented closer to the Event, and to be used if the course needs to be adjusted.

Athlete guide

Athlete guides have been emailed to participants on April 29. 

If you entered after this date or did not receive the email, you can download the athlete guide here.
