Jody and I will enter into the Masters category for this Questars organised event. Let us know if you are interested and we can see if we can make up some more teams. It should be a fun event.

13 July 2013
Wiltshire Downs, Wilts.
The last Questars adventure race we held in Wiltshire was very popular, with all available kayak places selling out a few weeks beforehand. So please don't leave it until the last minute to enter online otherwise you may find that all the kayak places have been taken.
Event Details
The fourth adventure race in the 2013 Questars series makes a welcome return to the Vale of Pewsey, which lies between the uplands of Salisbury Plain to the south and the Marlborough Downs to the north.
Its an area we know well, being not too far from where we are based. Hence we always enjoy holding events in Wiltshire to showcase some great adventure racing terrain this county has to offer.
We hope to use a different transition point to last time (permissions permitting) which will open up new areas, especially for the trail running and kayaking. So there will be something for everyone regardless of how many times you've done the Wiltshire Downs Questars adventure race before.
Pewsey railway station is less than a mile from the event base, so you could always come by train if you'd prefer.

Questars adventure races are always popular and kayak places often sell out, so early entry is recommended to avoid missing out.
