2017 Solo course video through the eyes of competitor Steven Day:
All solo competitors showed great adaptability with a course change required due to a fire that started Wednesday evening on the Solo’s run course.
Solo competitors swam 2km, ran across the dam wall and paddled 13km down the upper Ord river as planned. However, instead of starting the run, competitors were then transported by Triple J tour boat up to the Argyle dam wall. The race was then re-started from the dam wall, with a run that took competitors around Lake Argyle Resort and on some single trail. The brave solo’s then tackled three laps of the Argyle Mountain Bike trail to finish and amazing adventure. Team’s competed on an essentially unchanged course, with cyclists completing 3 laps of the bike track, instead of cycling through the smoke along Lake Argyle Road. The Santanol Sanctuary Junior Adventure Challenge was a huge hit with over 50 kids involved from age 6 to 13. The event finished in style with a Gala presentation Dinner at Lake Argyle Resort Saturday night. A great spirit of adventure was displayed by everyone involved and organisers are extremely grateful to all the sponsors and volunteers who made this possible. |
