There is no excuse now! Those claims of too unfit, too young, too old, too busy just don't work any more. Now you can enter the Novice Course - only half the distance of the Classic Course (the traditional length AROC Adventure). This is really something that anyone can do. Perfect for first time adventurers or families, the Novice Course will take teams around 1-2 hours to complete but still have all the elements of adventure racing. Kayaking, mountain biking and foot legs are still included as is some simple navigation. Use the Novice Course as your first step into fitness and adventure racing.
