Attitude and teamwork! Probably the most important skill your team will require for adventure races. Your team is only as strong as the weakest link and during the race it is highly likely each person will be dependant on the rest of the team to pull them through - REMEMBER "there is no 'I' in team".

STAY TOGETHER - you would be surprised how easy it is to mess up if you get split up even by small distances.  So stay together so that you can communicate easily with each other with minimum effort.

Fitness

You will need a reasonably good base level of fitness to successfully complete a race of this nature. 

So if your training has been 6 months in front of the telly, forget about it.  If you keep yourself in OK shape and are used to exertion, you should be fine.

You do NOT need to be a mountain whippet to complete and enjoy our races (but it might help!).
