Outdoor exercise has suddenly gotten very serious; long gone are the days of ‘jogging’ around the block in your shell suit with ‘Pump Up the Volume’ blasting out through your Walkman. There is a new kind of outdoor exercise that seems to be growing in popularity; who’s heard of Adventure Racing? Whilst most people are familiar with the terms ‘marathon’ or ‘triathlon’, this new kind of racing has added a new ‘Genre’ to sport and its getting really flipping hard! Adventure Racing is exactly what it says, you compete in a race BUT you add the element of orienteering combined with the traditional disciplines; Cycling, Canoeing, Running, Swimming, Climbing, whatever you like. Whilst triathlons and marathons are thought to be for elite athletes only, the ‘Adventure’ part slows everything down a little. It combines fitness with endurance and map reading.

Organic Adventure, a West Yorkshire based Adventure Racing Events organiser with a difference. Started December 2010 and aiming to bring Adventure Racing to the masses; our founding members are a mix of relatively inexperienced to the downright legendary! We believe this mix will create events that welcome inexperienced newcomers to the sport as well as test the elite.
