To celebrate the 20th year of running the ARC Adventure Race a new format of adventure racing is being introduced.... the “Adventure Rogaine”. The race will be based from the site of our proposed new Outdoor Camp close to Coromandel Town and will involve a series stages, including trekking, mountain biking and kayaking or an alternative water- based activity. Each stage will be a rogaine in it’s own right with a time limit and a number of point scoring checkpoints. There will also be the famous ARC Mystery activities including the “Temple of Doom” for which you will need a whip and a wetsuit.

The team with the highest number of points wins.

Some of the advantages of this format are that it makes for a lot of strategic decision making throughout the event and the fact that most teams will finish within a few minutes of each other in the respective races.

The ARC team are also very excited to announce the 8 Hour Cure Kids Challenge, which is open to teams who would like to raise funds towards this very worthwhile cause.
