(Unless also a winner of a cash prize eg. if a Veteran comes 2nd overall and wins $1,500 cash, they do not also win the prize pack for being first veteran.)
We will be presenting the Wade Kelly Memorial Trophy to the winner of the Veteran Individual Male category in memory of the recent passing of Wade Kelly, a 5 time individual participant in the Anaconda Adventure Race in WA.
Note – if you are a winner but cannot collect your prizes please make arrangements for someone to collect your trophy and prizes for you.
Tri Nations Adventure Racing Trophy
We have expanded the previously conducted Trans Tasman Trophy to now include South Africa to form this Tri Nations event. With 2 males and 1 female from each of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa racing for ultimate bragging rights as the strongest adventure racing country as part of the full length AAR event. The lowest total time for each team will determine the winner of $1000 prize money. More details will follow as we have confirmed athletes.
Random Prize Draws
In addition, some awesome random draws will be made on the day, with participants and spectators eligible. There will also be a swag of goodies up for grabs for all participants.
Anaconda Adventure Race National Series - SERIES WINNER
The winning individual male and female of the 2012 Anaconda Adventure Race National Series will win $1,000 cash in addition to whatever prize money they have won from separate events in the series.
The male and female winner of the 2012 Anaconda Adventure Race National Series will be determined on a points basis as follows:
- The athlete must have competed in all 3 races in the series
- The athlete with the highest points after all 3 races will be the winner
- Points will be allocated on a per event basis according to the athlete’s position in the overall standings as an individual male / female as follows:
- 1st = 10 points
- 2nd = 8 points
- 3rd = 7 points
- 4th = 6 points
- 5th = 5 points
- 6th = 4 points
- 7th = 3 points
- 8th = 2 points
- 9th = 1 point
- 10th and onwards = 0 points
- If points are tied between 2 or more competitors at the end of the last event in the series, the winner will be determined by a count back and the athlete with the most number of race victories being the winner, and then moving to the most number of 2nd place positions… and so forth if needed
