Pick three activities from one category or one from each – the choice is yours. Enter as many times as you like.
Excited to start? Follow these easy steps to prepare:
Step 1
Connect! Join our event on Facebook (the link can be found here). This is where you can get the most up-to-date information on routes and prizes. Also, you should download Strava for free with this link. Strava is a great app to keep track of your sports and will be used as a leaderboard for the challenges.
Step 2
Plan! Which 3 days will you be getting out? Call up friends to meet up or book a cottage with friends, family or rivals (depending on how competitive you are). Our cabins are ideal so that you can keep your edge for the next activity.
Step 3
Train! Get on your bike, grab your paddle or tie those shoes! Our routes will be linked below after the finishing touches are completed.
Step 4
Compete! Get moving and have fun. We don’t need to tell you how to do this.
Step 5
Submit! Send in your results HERE. Didn’t manage to finish? That’s okay! Send along your results anyways.
