Adventure Racing

Adventure RacingFast, exhilarating and completely exhausting, adventure racing is not for the feint hearted. Each race offers its own combination of challenges - running, cycling, abseiling, climbing, canoeing, kayaking and occasionally more unorthodox modes of transport. At Plas y Brenin we have a host of experienced and accomplished adventure racers on our instructional team, each one with their own area of expertise. What's more, we are in an outstanding location for adventure racing skills development. We have a purpose built mountain bike skills course and world class mountain biking routes all around us. An on-site artificial abseil tower, two indoor climbing walls, our own private lake, rapids and an indoor heated canoe rolling pool. We have a series of carefully mapped orienteering courses right on our doorstep. And, of course, we have the mountains of Snowdonia stretching out as far as the eye can see.
