Adventure race is a special race in which different sport disciplines are combined in the same race, run in natural environments, where rules can be changed according to conditions and where primary purpose of racers is to have fun.
Although mostly outdoor sports athletes from different branches are interested in this special race, the race has also created its own enthusiasts. Athletes doing mountaineering, orienteering, cycling, athleticism and other branches of sports participate in these races in order to test themselves, make exercises in other branches and primarily to have an adventure and fun. Besides fitness, power, endurance and motivation, adventure races also require social abilities such as planning, strategy and team spirit. Essentially, it is a race where competition is with the nature and one’s own limits rather than with other competitors.
Competitors will start by swimming from an island to another, will cycle then and try to reach finish line by orienteering. Competitors will have to pass from some specified Check Points (CP). At some of these CP’s they may prefer to compete at some special stages that would allow them gain extra points, such as abseiling, rock climbing and some small games. Some of these stages are named after celebrities who lived at Prince’s Islands, like Lefter, Reşat Nuri Güntekin, Nurullah Ataç.
Prince’s Islands Adventure Race consists of three stages:
Swimming: Swimming on an approximately 900 m. track between two islands.
Cycling: After completing swimming track and landing on the island will pick up their shoes and materials that are ready for them and access to their bicycles that are ready for them at some distance. In 2015 races cycling track was about 13 -15 km long and at least 60% of it was run on earth road. At cycling stage competitors will call at CP’s and if they prefer, they may complete extra stages.
Orienteering: Competitors will deliver their bicycles at a prepared post and they will pick up their orienteering materials (map, compass) and start the final stage. They will find orienteering flags that were places earlier and take the marks on them. They may also participate in special contests at this stage. Some part of orienteering stage, especially the final part will be at the settlement section of the island so that island habitants and tourists can have a chance to see the final of the race and share the race atmosphere. This stage was about 8-12 km. long in 2015. In 2015, start of the race was at 09:00 a.m. and finish about 03:00 p.m.
Calculation of points will be made according to targets stipulated earlier, bonus points and time calculation will be made by computers.
We will stay at Heybeliada Kızılay Camp with all racers on the night before Race Day. Racers, if they prefer, may stay at different places at Heybeliada on their account provided that they participate in the briefing.
