Calling all adrenaline junkies. Sign up now for the inaugural Ultimate Adventure Triathlon

Fancy yourself as a ‘Wipeout’ survivor, think you can handle a bike race through the woods and a cross country run? The Ultimate Adventure Centre in Abbotsham, Bideford is offering adrenaline junkies the chance to compete in the first ever Ultimate Adventure Triathlon on Sunday 19 May 2013. The Ultimate Adventure Triathlon is a new and exciting adventure experience, bringing together three ultimate activities. The event starts with a lap of The Ultimate Assault – you’ll need a sense of fun as well as plenty of energy and agility to make it through this challenging course inspired by TV’s Total Wipeout! From there will be a transition into an off-road Mountain Bike ride of either 8 or 10km. The final leg of the three is a cross country run of either 5 or 7km. There will also be a junior event which includes The Ultimate Assault, 3k mountain bike and 2km run. This event is ideal for anyone with or without any triathlon experience aged 12 +. There will be an initial limit of 100 places. There will be Junior, Novice and Sprint classifications. The Novice and Sprint classifications will be split into Senior Men and Senior Women. There will also be a team competition for each classification. The inaugural Ultimate Adventure Triathlon is probably the most energetic of events in the B10 programme, celebrating ten years of North Devon’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It’s all about getting out there and enjoying this special area we live in. Russ Johns, owner of the Ultimate Adventure Centre is a dedicated supporter of the Biosphere’s aims, saying “We strive to safeguard the local countryside, and value and endorse the ethos and principles of the North Devon Biosphere.” Stunning North Devon countryside provides the back-drop for the race which will be held in fields adjacent to the Ultimate Adventure Centre and The Big Sheep, just off the A39 on the outskirts of Bideford. The Big Sheep owner Rick Turner says ‘We are pleased to be associated with the first Ultimate Adventure Triathlon, an exciting and challenging new race for Bideford and North Devon’.
