The Quoll Cometh

So I recieved this from the guys that are running the Quoll Adventure Race, and to be Honest It sounds a bit scary. Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained though I spose.

Hi Lewis,

The 2006 Quoll Adventure Race will be held on the weekend August 5/6. Web site for the Quoll www.adventureracing.com.au/ahq will be up shortly. The event is a typical adventure race style event, with a twist.

Event is a 32 hour race however 7 & 14 hour categories are catered for within the race.Teams of 2 or 4; no individuals. Teams can be all Male, all Female or Mixed; only mixed can win the major sponsors award.Support Crews unnecessary [ unsupported event].All team members must members be or join the Queensland Rogaining Association.

Non Stop event [ sleep at your own peril!!] Multiple Hike, Mountain Bike, Kayak/paddle legs.Event commences at 0600 Saturday 5th August.Approx 80k/250k/50k for 32 hour course [ Course not finalised so distances are rubbery].Navigation and map reading skills are pretested [ you must be able to navigate] No electronic aids other than altimeter.

You supply MTB; we will supply/hire watercraft [ not sure whether it will be included as part of the entry cost or additional] Entry costs etc are not known at this stage, but will be very reasonable.Anything more specific that you'd like to know please reply email with questions.

Unless you object I'll ad you to our email list so that you receive updates about our racing calendar for 2006.

Regards

Min is a bit dubious about the 34hr event and the distances. I tried to tell her that the distances are a bit rubbery but she is still not convinced. Maybe we'll do the 14hr event.
