Children aged 8-14 are to
enter in teams of up to 8(and minimum of
4)to compete in the adventure race. Teams can be of mixed age and gender.
We recommend that the team help each other round the course, working together.
All we ask is that children
wear suitable shoes such as trainers or boots and some older clothing which keeps
them warm and dry, which you don’t mind getting MUDDY!!!!
Tickets cost £5 per child,
this includes entrance and race participation; teas, coffees and juices which
will be available from 12.30pm onwards, and soup and a roll offered to
participants provided by Bonaly's catering staff, will be available from 3pm
onwards. So no need for a packed lunch!
A similar event at Bonaly
has been extremely popular and has already sold out, so please book your places
soon if you are interested. It will be an exciting, action packed day that
should not be missed!
First-aiders will be on site
as well as a number of volunteers and qualified instructors. All over 18s on
site will hold a PVG Certificate to reassure you of the children’s safety.
We are a not-for-profit
organisation with all proceeds going to the Teenage Cancer Trust. We would like
to encourage children to raise money for our charity if they wish to do so. We
can provide sponsorship forms to any children who are interested in raising
money which they will bring along with them on the day with their funds and
form. Any contributions towards our charity would be greatly appreciated, even
buying a ticket will help to raise money so we hope you consider coming to our
event.
