GeoBuzz: IP Global TriChallenge with ShelterBox

For those of you looking for a challenge, sign up for the IP Global TriChallenge to test yourself over air, land and sea while raising money for a worthy charity at the same time!

 

IP Global and ShelterBox have partnered together to present a thrilling endurance run that also helps raise valuable funds for ShelterBox’s relief efforts. You can participate in the race by joining as a team of four and fundraising $20,000 ($5,000 per person). Sound easy so far? Here’s the twist: the race must be completed while carrying a ShelterBox strapped to your back!

 

During the TriChallenge, each team will carry an empty ShelterBox across a 10km course through the Sai Kung Country Park. There will be several checkpoints throughout the course where they will participate in team challenges that will include elements of air, land and sea. All of the challenges simulate the real difficulties that ShelterBox volunteers face while reaching communities in crisis all over the world.

 

SEA challenge:

  • 3km run to a raft relay race
  • Teams use materials provided to create a makeshift raft that can support two members plus the ShelterBox

 

AIR challenge:

  • 3.8km run to an abseil race
  • Two members of the team must abseil down a cliff face; one of the two members must carry the ShelterBox
  • The other two members will provide support and complete other challenges at the base

 

LAND challenge:

  • 2.6km run to a sedan chair race and a 100m sprint finish
  • Each team will convert the ShelterBox into a ‘sedan chair’; one member of the team sits on the chair while the other three carry him or her to the finish line
  • Each ‘sedan chair’ needs to be decorated using colouring books and crayons that are found in all children’s activity packs delivered as part of the ShelterBox
