adidas TERREX swift | 2nd to 4th June 2012

Swift - Event Detail

The event will be a 2 day non-stop adventure race for mixed sex teams of 4. There'll be the usual mix of trekking, mixed-terrain biking and paddling plus that little extra spice that Open Adventure is renowned for. Navigation as always will be a key part of the challenge. The event will run over the the Queens Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend of the 2nd to 4th June 2012.

Although still early in the planning process we are designing a race format and course that will allow all the teams to finish. The race will be achievable yet challenging to all levels.

As soon as more details become available this basic entry will be updated further.

Open5 organiser, David Johnson, is the man with the task of planning and organising the adidas TERREX swift.

Update 15th May - The short route distance is 200km with 4,800m ascent and the long route distance is 300km with 7,700m ascent.
