This Friday 9th May, year 1 & 2 pupils and staff of Schull Community
College will compete in the first ever Schull Adventure Race,
commencing at midday. Participating in teams of three or four,
competitors shall be physically and mentally challenged in four
different activities. The race starts with first team members running
from the pier to the sailing centre before embarking on a kayaking
loop in Schull harbour. On completion, the second team member will
have to navigate their way around Schull park with the aid of a
specialist orienteering map in search of a series of checkpoints.
Following on from this is a tough cycle ride around the back lanes of
Schull culminating in a cross country run around the school. This race
is an introduction to adventure racing and will give the Mizen
teenagers a feel for what is involved when the World Series Adventure
Race, a gruelling five day challenge for the world's top adventure
racing teams, comes to Schull on June 17th. Most of the action will be
based around the sailing centre so come out and support the youngsters
in their endeavours.
