The Mainpeak Collie Adventure Race (previously known as the Mainpeak Collie Marathon) is back for 2010.
The race is being held on the 9th of October, against a backdrop of the the picturesque
countryside, river and bushland of the Collie River Valley. The race is a relay which starts and finishes at the Collie Showground; participation is invited from individuals or teams. Last year’s race was a huge success with a record number of teams and individuals competing.
The stages are:
- 27km road bike race to Collie Power Station and return
- 15km horse circuit through bushland south east of Collie (optional)
- 10 km canoe paddle along the Collie River from the Showground to Minninup Pool
- 1km swim in the Collie River at Minninup Pool
- 25km mountain bike circuit into jarrah forest north west of Minninup Pool
- 10km footrace alongside the Collie Golf Course and the banks of the Collie River, back to the Showground
SPR rider Pete Gill is having a crack at it solo (brave man). Who out there is interested in forming an SPR team? No expertise required just a bit of enthusiasm and willingness to
have some fun 🙂
UPDATE… We
will field TWO teams if there are enough people interested!
All info can be found HERE
I wouldn’t mind doing the MTB or paddle if there is enough interest.
I’ll do the road… 😉
I would have been keen for a team, but seemingly poor planning has this on the same weekend as the Great Southern Adventure Race, and I’ve committed myself to be race support for some friends down in Denmark that weekend.
Good luck Pete! Hopefully the water is nice and cool for the swimmers…
I’ll swim better be a wetsuit swim
I might be interested in the paddle or cycle, depending on what uni throws at me that weekend
I’ll be there doing the mtb for Team Tachycardia. Hope to see some of you there. 🙂
I am doing the MTB leg too for “Team Extreme Supreme Dream Team”
