Freycinet Challenge 2018
Race Information Booklet
4adventure – Ben, Row, Mark & Lou – info@freycinetchallenge.com.au
Last year, 4adventure (Ben, Row, Mark & Lou) took over the reins of the Freycinet Challenge from original creator and organiser of 16 years, Tim Saul. We enjoyed the challenging learning curve, reviewing feedback from past entrants, making changes and moving forth. We will continue to try and develop the event each year. We are incredibly happy to partner on with MOO Brew. Our leg sponsors Next Level Kayak, The Running Edge, AvantiPlus Launceston & Bike Ride Hobart continue their fantastic support. And keep an eye out for tasty foodstuffs from Alps & Amici, Coles Bay Convenience and KOOEE! Please show your appreciation by supporting those that enable us to support you! We have moved the Challenge forward a week to sit in the middle of school holidays to provide an opportunity for everyone to hang around on Sunday, rest, relax and review what we hope will be a fantastic and challenging weekend. Please take a moment to read through our Race Information Booklet to ensure you are informed and prepared for all that the Challenge may throw at you! DON’T FORGET DAYLIGHT SAVINGS ON SUNDAY As Mark can attest, arriving late and chasing everyone in the paddle is not particularly fun! 4adventure Crew – Mark, Lou, Ben & Row
Thanks to our Naming Sponsor

store......one of the main reasons we embarked on the ────
adventure that is Alps & Amici, was to further the work we had
been doing at our former restaurant Strathlynn with local Pre-prepared
producers.

Daniel had always worked hard building relationships with local meals
producers so as to showcase their produce. The Alps & Amici
store allows Daniel and the team to present local produce to a ────
much higher degree. It also presents an opportunity for value

customers’ busy lives a little easier... and a little tastier. Breakfast &

Your responsibilities as a competitor include: When you register you will be issued with a race number, this needs to be displayed on the front of your shirt/race kit and also on the front of MTB. You need to wear the race bib and it must be visible at all times while racing. You must leave the race bib on until you finish the entire race course. It is essential for timing. Please call out your race number as you pass the timing station to help our crew to correctly identify you. It is imperative that you advise race officials in the event you withdraw from the race at any time. It is essential for us to know where you are on the course at all times for your safety and our ability to post accurate official results post-race.
