Open24 Adventure Race 30/31 July 2011
Lake District

For the event timetable and updates, please read the details page.

You just can't squeeze anymore adventure in to 24 hours - if you are an Adventure Racing junkie then this is the must do event of 2011.

So what does it include, well the core of the event will include mountain biking, trekking (or running) and paddling with navigation a key part of the event.

This is the final event of the endurance series - if 2010 is to go by it will be great competiton and not just at the top.

Needless to say you should expect kayaking to be a part of this Open24. Some stages will include a special stage or 'trouser filler' - we have had white water paddling, canyoning, swimming, caving, abseiling - the thing is you won't know what these are until the event has started.

Please note that for this event boat hire is extra, if competitors have their own boats they will be able to use them on the Open24. However there are a few conditions check out the kayaking page here.

Concept - You will have 24 hours to visit as many points (controls) as you can. The event will be split up in to a number of stages where you will change over disciplines.

  Time - The plan is for competitors to register on the Friday evening, starting early Saturday morning, finishing around lunchtime on Sunday.
