The Nanga Challenge is a multi sport event with a focus on fun and challenge. It is about getting into the outdoors, challenging yourself while having an fantastic day out. The Nanga is a very good introduction to adventure racing for newcomers, and for the regular racer it is a great course to chase bragging rights over your mates.
The event comprises of an upstream and downstream paddle totalling 10.5 km, a user friendly two-lap mountain bike leg totalling 21 km and a one lap cross-country run of 9.6km. Participants can enter as a team, a pair or take on the course solo as an ironman or woman. It’s as competitive or as fun as you like to make it. Camping is available – enjoyment is compulsory.
Participants supply own equipment and must be competent paddling in moving water and grade 1-2 rapids.
