Paddy Pallin Adventure Race Series Gear and Info Nights
If you've never tried adventure racing before, the best way to get started is to come to the Paddy Pallin ARS Gear & Info Nights! There you will learn what to expect in a typical adventure race, how to prepare for it, get hints and tips from seasoned racers, and what gear (<click here> for a suggested gear list) and skills you will need. Experts will share their experiences and be there to answer any questions you might have. It's also a great opportunity to check out the latest gear and take advantage of one night only specials! Although these nights are especially targeted to novices, anyone can attend. Entry is free, you just need to let us know if you are planning to attend by emailing alina@arocsport.com.au

AROC will be holding a special kayak session in Canberra on Tuesday 17 November 5pm - 7pm.
This is a great way to try out the kayaks used in the Paddy Pallin Adventure Races and have a paddle on the lake in the lovely spring evenings. Just $10/person. Turn up when ever you like between 5-7pm and paddle for as long as you like.
