UWOC 3 PEAKS CHALLENGE: Event Time Line

Main Page

Challenge Introduction

Event Time Plan

Approximate Time Plan

This is a rough time plan based on last years` challenge and has yet to be confirmed for this year. Actual walking times for mountains are based on completing the challenge within 24 hours, although some teams will be faster and some will be slower. This year teams will have to adhere to minimum driving times between mountains in the interest of safety.

Unfortunately, Final Fling is the night before we depart. Last year drivers on the 3 peaks challenge got queue jump tickets to get on the first bussess leaving after the last song. We will try to arrange that this year.

More notes...
