Welcome to the North Lincs Adventure Challenge - 25th May 2008
-
The North Lincs Adventure Challenge is organised by a group of friends/athletes who enjoy the multi-sport and are also members of Lincolnshire Quadrathlon Club. So what of another challenge? Something off road and a little different, a real challenge! The Falcon North Lincs Adventure Challenge is something that you can really strive to achieve and remember.36K Cycle - 10K Kayak - 10K Run
From a list of three locations, Brigg (click to see aerial photos) was chosen as the perfect venue. The Town Council and local businesses embraced the idea with Falcon Cycles becoming our main sponsor and the grant was awarded from Brigg MTI (Market Town Initiative), thus ensuring the race would run for 2 years. Other businesses, proud of their market town have been keen to support the race with further annual contributions.
In the first year, of the entries received, many had no idea about canoeing. BCU one star courses were arranged to give rookies some idea of safety, and the experience of a capsize drill. It introduced runners to canoeing, canoeist to cycling and cyclists to running, and was hailed as a success.
The first ever winner was local butcher Julian Newell in 2hours 48
minutes 29 seconds.
The Hall of Fame can be viewed here for previous years.
Safety
The first and most important consideration is the safety of all competitors and volunteers. We have completed risk assessments and do our best to highlight any hazards, etc.
You as a competitor have a duty of care to yourself and others. You must also be sure of your abilities and fitness to compete in, and complete, the 3 disciplines. You must have regard for other competitors and officials, all of whom give their time for your pleasure and pain!
The challenge has a very good safety record and it is up too us all to up keep this for the sake of the event, not only this year but for future years and every other event in the Trophy Series.
