| ABOUT THE POLARIS CHALLENGE |
|
The Polaris Challenge began in Autumn 1991 as the very first two-day
Mountain Biking Orienteering event in the World. It is still the biggest
event of its kind and regularly attracts riders from all over the world,
year after year. There are three events in the UK each year, now with
similar events in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France and Germany.
The Polaris Challenge is a two-day event, combining mountain biking with
navigation and touring. Teams of two (or solo) ride between checkpoints
scattered over a large area of rugged country. Each checkpoint has a value
and the aim of the challenge is to accumulate as many points as possible
within each day's time limit. Distance and 'difficult to access' checkpoints
carry higher values and there are tough penalties for exceeding the time
limits. The Polaris Challenge is an opportunity for a great weekend's riding
through some wild country on trails and tracks- each event is very
different. Who takes the Challenge? 'Anyone who loves mountain biking.' You
can take the Polaris Challenge seriously and go for maximum scores or treat
it as a good excuse for a fun weekend of adventurous riding. |
