Get dirty and sweaty at adventure run
THE annual Dirty 30 Sweaty 60 Adventure Run with “an explosive mix of dirt, water, awesome single track, funky obstacles and laughter” will be held this Saturday afternoon at Tinaroo.
The event is a single loop course of around 1.5km throughout the Barrabadeen area, with participants completing as many laps as possible within either “30 dirty minutes or 60 sweaty ones”.
The course includes a number of obstacles designed to add an element of fun to the race including a 100m wade, hay bales, a gate crawl, nuisance hill, rip roaring downhill, a beach run, sweet flowing single track, boulder hop, monkey bars, and a slip ‘n’ slide.
Upon return to the start line, runners can head off for their second, third or fourth laps and can finish after the time limits.
However, for the purpose of results, it is only the laps completed prior to the cut-off that will be considered.
Registrations for both events start from 2pm at Camp Barrabaeen, with the Dirty 30 kicking off at 3.45pm and the Sweaty 60 at 4.45pm.
Race entry fees are $10 for Grubs (12 and under), $20 for Juniors (13-17) and $40 for Open (18 and over) and includes a barbecue dinner at 7pm following the event.
Entrants under 12 will need an accompanying adult or older sibling.
Contestants are required to bring cups or drinking devices, running gear, spare clothes for after the event and plates and cutlery for dinner.
The event starts and finishes within the Barrabadeen camping area near Tinaroo Dam.
To find the area, travel to Tinaroo township and continue through past the dam wall and less than five minutes past there, a dirt road on the right is signposted and leads to Barrabadeen.
Entries for the race can be made online only and close Wednesday at 8pm, for more information visit https://www.adventuresportnq.info/
