To celebrate its 24th anniversary, the Raid Pulse team is proud to invite you to ”location to be confirmed” area for a thrilling adventure race. It’s a wooded and hilly location with numerous beautiful lakes and MTB trails, ideal for an adventure race.

Let me tell we will have quite a playground for outdoor and adventure lovers. We have already identified many mountain bike trails, superb lake locations, kilometres of forest and and trails for the trekking and orientation sections. Be assured that we will make you discover this area the Raid Pulse way so prepare yourself for an exciting adventure. 

As usual, we want to offer a quality event in pristine nature including the three basic disciplines in adventure racing (trekking/bushwalking, paddling and mountain biking).

Teams must complete the course by reaching the various check points using the maps provided by Raid Pulse. During the regular course the navigation difficulty level will be accessible to all levels of experience (parts of the regular course will be marked). Of course, an experienced team should make fewer errors and complete the course more rapidly.

There will also be some advanced sections for teams that are looking for a bigger challenge with more technical navigation and added distance.

Specific event details
