Disciplines
 |
ROPE WORKS
The race will include both ascending and descending stages. Also flying fox will probably be included. There will be skill test before the race.
 |
NAVIGATION
All disciplines demand skills in day and night navigation with the help of compass, maps and roadbook. The maps will be in scales between 1:10 000 to 1:50 000, mainly in 1:20 000 to 1:30 000. There is a possibility for very short sprint orienteerings with 1:5000 scale maps. Maps in Finland are very accurate.
 |
KAYAKING
Is one of the main disciplines in this race. Teams must be ready to paddle total distance of 150km during the race. The sections will be in the finest and most beautiful archipelago in the world.
During the race our brand NEW kayaks will be used. Each team will have two double STAR DUO kayaks. In Endurance Quest we never use sit on top kayaks.
 |
SAILING
Will be fun section of this race. Teams will build a "sailboat" out of two kayaks. Material and instructions will be handed out for the teams from the organiser.
 |
MOUNTAIN BIKING
Mountain biking will cover approximately 40-50% of the race distance. Sections will be varying from fast rolling gravel roads to a small trails. Racers will also have a special "bike orienteering" section with proper map. There can be some VERY SHORT "carry the bike" sections, but the idea is to have a course where bike sections will be done by biking, not carrying them.
 |
CANOEING
This is a challenging section in 2012 edition. It will probably be many different tacticts during the race. The section will not be very long in kilometres, but the teams will use up to 5-8 hours of time.
During the race we use plastic canoes. There will be 2-3 different models, the canoes will be delivered on basis "first come, first serve".
 |
COASTALEERING
This is one of the most demanding and most beautiful parts of the race. Running and swimming along archipelagos granithe islands is a fantastic feeling.
Sections will be quite short but there will be 2-3 of them. It will be allowed to use air mattresses.
 |
KICKBIKING
If there would be ice we would have ice sledging. But because we organise the race in July and the temperature will be above +15 Celsius degrees we need to have KICKBIKING. This is a "traditional" finnish discipline. The owner and creator of Kickbiking is also a AR racer.
It is possible there will be only two bikes / team. Then the section is "kick and run" section.
 |
ROWING
This will be done by one boat / team. The section will not be very long, but you need the right technic to row.
 |
QUEST = SECRET DISCIPLINES
As it says it's secret!
The key point for this sections is that there will be a maximum time for each secret section, which is just a minutes. If some team will solve the task fast then they can continue faster from the section. If the team can not solve the task, then they have to wait until the maximum time.
