Description

The Anaconda Junior Survivor is a super fun adventure challenge event designed and run especially for children aged between 5 and 13 years of age. The event takes place on the Saturday before the Anaconda Adventure Race so kids get the chance to be the centre of attention and get their share of off-road fun.

The event involves a range of exciting obstacles and water activities all in a bush and beach environment and has proved incredibly popular with kids and their families since its inception in 2006, with kids talking about it and wearing their event shirts for months afterwards!

The inaugural event in 2006 attracted over 250 ‘Survivors’ all of whom successfully who made their way around the course with laughs and smiles all the way! 2007 and the 2008 and 2009 events both brought 450 survivors who also completed it with plenty of smiles and now there is great expectation for the 2010 event with a range of new challenges and obstacles in store for junior survivors up and down the coast. So fire up kids for another blast of off road adventure fun!

When?

The Anaconda Junior Survivor will start at 4:00pm on Saturday September 4th, 2010 and will finish with presentations at around 5:30pm. The event will be held while the Adventure Expo is in full swing and while adult competitors in the Anaconda Adventure Race are registering so there will be plenty of active supporters to cheering you over the finish line!

[Note, all Junior Survivors must complete registration along with a parent and/or guardian between 1:00pm and 3:30pm on Saturday September 4th, 2010 at the Palm Beach Parklands]

Where?

The 2010 Anaconda Junior Survivor will start and finish at the Palm Beach Parklands, north of Currumbin Creek. The course will be fully marked and marshalled and keeps away from all roads and thoroughfares so all participants are assured of a safe, fun time.

Do I need any special equipment or skills?

No. No special equipment or athletic skills are required, just bring along your sense of adventure and fun (and a good pair of shoes) and we promise we’ll put a smile on your dial!

How long?

Junior Survivors can expect to encounter an exciting survivor challenge every 5 minutes or so. The course is designed to give you about 45 minutes of physical activity, however if you’re super-quick you could finish in about a 25 minutes, or if you’re a bit slower and walk the whole thing, it may be a little longer than an hour. The important thing is that every Junior Survivor who crosses the finish line is a winner!
