V Adventure Race Fremantle
Sunday February 16, 2014.
ABOUT
The V Adventure Race returns to Fremantle on Sunday February
16, 2014.
The V Adventure Race Fremantle features 5 disciplines - Ocean
Swim, Mixed Terrain Cycle, Trail/Port Run, Ocean Paddle and
a Coast Run, in a triathlon style event.
Competitors are challenged across multiple terrains around
the Fremantle area, racing individually or as a part of a
team. This fun adventure race is the first of its kind as
it features an urban setting.
Fremantle and its surrounds offer the ideal setting for urban
adventure racing thanks to a vast range of terrain around
the port and adjoining Swan River offering bays, rocky headlands,
river trails, wharves and amazing coastline.
Each of the 5 Legs follows a different course around the Fremantle
area, all starting and finishing at the event site on The
Esplanade.
The City of Fremantle and the Fremantle Ports grant special
access to areas of Fremantle that would normally be restricted
to such events.
The event is officially sanctioned by Triathlon WA, which
marks a first for an event in Western Australia. The sanction
provides a full sport insurance cover to all competitors in
the Adventure Race.
Leg 4: Ocean Paddle
Start: The Esplanade/Port Beach
Finish: Port Beach/The Esplanade
Details:
The fourth leg of the V Adventure Race is the Ocean Paddle.
Competitors will transition at the Esplanade Hub before a
short run to the north end of Bathers Beach where their paddle
craft will be waiting.
Paddlers will then complete multiple laps around an approximate
1.5km course marked by Bathers Beach, South Mole and the Fishing
Boat Harbour (extended from Leg 1).
Competitors using traditional ski paddle crafts will be required
to complete 3 laps of the 1.5km paddle course (approximately
4.5km in total) while competitors opting to use a stand up
paddle board (SUP) will complete 3 laps of the 750m swim course
(approximately 2.25km in total).
A lap count and timing dingy will be in place next to the
Beach Buoy and will communicate with the paddler the lap they
are on.
Competitors in the Paddle Leg can choose to use any paddle
craft. Most will choose a surf ski although other paddle crafts
such as kayaks and SUP's will be permitted in this event.
Special exemption has been sought from DOT to ensure competitors
do not need to carry Open Water safety devices for this leg
of the event.
At the completion of the Paddle Leg, competitors will complete
a short run back to the Esplanade Transition Hub to tag the
final leg - a 9km Coast Run.
