Adrenalin Rush Underway

If you're still nursing aching legs from the weekend, just be glad you don't have to swap places with competitors in the Adrenalin Rush including the boys from our magazine partners On The Hill.

Europe's toughest race, a 300-mile non-stop event started this morning at around 11.00 o'clock with 32 teams competing in mountain biking, running, climbing and abseiling, kayaking, trekking, navigation, horse riding, swimming.

Originally to be held in Northern Ireland, the foot and mouth epidemic forced a re-location to Stirling in Scotland with the date moved from May to late July thanks to a lot of hard graft behind the scenes and the work of Stirling Council.

This year's event is also one of the stages of the inaugural 2001 World Adventure Race Championships. Anyway, if you want to know what's going down and how the two Steves - Duffy and Watkins - are doing in their guise of half of Team The North Face, you can follow the race live on 9feet.com by clicking here.

So, good luck guys. Remember, adventure racing is unimaginably hard (as we always say), for a monthly helping of detailed race news and information, check out the new adventure racing section at the back of On The Hill magazine.
