COME AND TRY IT - ADVENTURE RACING

Ever fancied having a go at mountain biking, fell running or orienteering?

Whether you are spectating, friends and family of a competitor or from the local community iROC™ will be the perfect opportunity to ‘come and try it’!

There are two ways in which you can get involved.

1. Join in with any of the six main races at iROC™.

Don’t be daunted however, as the course are designed so that they feature two loops with the shorter loop first. This means you can share the excitement of the start with all the other competitors and race with them on the same course. At the end of the first loop, you can either finish at that point or if you are still up for it, continue and complete the second loop.

Your finishing position will be recorded along with your time in the race results available soon after each race as finished and published on the iROC™ website afterwards.

The best way to think about these races is as an adventurous fun run, bike ride or navigational challenge. However, the course will be hilly and muddy so come prepared! A mountain bike is essential for either of the main MTB Races, good quality and grippy footwear recommend for the fell races and headtorch’s/bike lights are mandatory for the night races.

You’ll need to enter online before the event (insert link).

2. Free U14 Adventure Races.

On Saturday 29th May there will be a series of free to enter mini races for the under 14’s. This will include a bike race, a fell/trail race and an orienteering race. Details of these races will be added to the website shortly.
