About the race!
GHAR is an adventure race spanning over an
estimated 24 hours for the best teams.
The teams
consist of 2 persons, either as mixed, male or female teams. No
assistance will be allowed.
The course will take you
from city to forest and back again. The time estimates below are
for the fastest teams.
The race
organization will provide you with canadian canoe, paddles,
trolley and life jackets. Note: it is ok to bring your own
paddle and life jacket.
Before the race
starts you will pack a food box provided by the organization,
after approximately half the race you will receive this food box

-
Other, we will prepare
some challenges for you. Caves, rope bridges, etc.
Winning time is estimated to
24 hours. Our ambition is that your adventure will be no longer
than 36 hours which means some teams might be lead to a shorter
course as the race progress.
We are
creating a
set-up that minimises the equipment that the teams need to bring
as well as their logistical needs. We hope that this will permit
many teams to take part in this race. The need to plan food and
equipment also gives an extra dimension to racing.
