Evasion Lifestyle offers two solutions to Adventure Racers.
 
1. For racers who are comfortable with all the disciplines. Weekend trips that allow you to see the area and get set for the event from the comfort of our accommodation. Transport and logistical aid for the event.
 
2. Full weeks with like minded first timers. We coach you in the three disciplines; Orienteering, Canoeing and Mountain Biking over the course of the week. We also make sure that the week is about having loads of fun and experiencing the region's landscape, culture and gastronomy (yes, including the wine!). With top tips from experienced coaches, you'll be ready to take on the event with 100% confidence when the weekend comes.
