Open Adventure in 08
Posted in Adventure Racing
Open Adventure have already got over a years worth of dates lined up for our diaries for the 2008 season. This starts with the Open 5 Series kicking off on 27th January at Dalby Forest, followed by a trip to Pateley Bridge on the 9th March.
The last open 5 is in May in the Lakes. This is also the starter for the Endurance Series. This sees competitiors racing in a 5, 12 and 24hr non-stop races to see who can the win the coveted Endurance Series. Last year saw Team Inov8 pairing of Chris Near and Tim Higginbottom walk away with the Male Pairs prize with Andy Simpson and James Williams of Compass Point not far behind them. In 3rd was another Inov8 team also sponsored by sleepmonsters John Cunningham and Ifor Powell.
This year sees some new places for the 12 and 24 races. The Open 12 is going to be in the Peak District and the 24 will finally ensure that Open Adventure moves out of just the North of England with their first Wales event.
A busy year for James over at Open Towers but again I am sure they will organise some top class racing. I am in particular looking forward to the Peak District race after getting a fair few miles in my legs in that neck of the woods with the 15 Trigs.
