The Format


65 km Zealot Challenge: 30 km Bike + 21 km Hike + 14 km River Rafting

Team of 4

A true test of endurance, this is what gets the true 'HAC All Stars' returning each edition for more! Pegged at 65 kms this year with a start from the picturesque Devprayag bridge, hop on mountain bikes and start peddling down right after the confluence where the Ganga river forms.

The 30 km Bike Segment is a traverse along the Upper Ganga valley. It is a series of ups and downs, but with no sustained ascent or descent. Expect stiff competition on this leg as it can provide you the whisker of an advantage for the hike and paddle.




30 km Open Challenge: 16 km Hike + 14 km River Rafting

Team of 4

For the beginner, figuring out mountain biking techniques can be a task in itself! The 30 km Open Challenge with a 16 km hike and 14 km rafting section is definitely the perfect stepping stone into a world of the great outdoors. If you've been dreaming about getting off the treadmill, it’s time to come out here and combine hiking with some adrenaline pumping river rafting to get the best of both worlds on land and water. There are enough pit stops and refuelling stations on the way to keep you well hydrated!




10 km Open Challenge: 5 km River Rafting + 5 km Hike

Min of 4 or Max of 6

For anyone with children or those trying to get them away from the screens, the 10 km Family Challenge will get them to enjoy the outdoors like nothing before! Consider coming with friends and even family and we will take care of your folks while you hop, skip and jump in the Himalayas even if they want to just sit back and relax in the mountains!



Accommodation:

We have two properties that are close together; Atali Ganga and Camp Aquaterra which are also the race venue. You may come in latest by lunch on Friday, 13th December 2019 for the orientation which starts from 2 pm followed by the race briefing.

Please get in touch after signing up to check availability



How it Works:

We use a points system where times get adjusted for age and gender. This is based on age/gender adjustments for qualifying times used by international marathons of Boston, London and New York. The time to complete HAC of every individual team member is taken and adjusted. The individual adjusted times are then totalled to give the final adjusted team time. This is then used to decide HAC winners and runners-up. It means people of any age or gender have just as much chance as anyone else.



Why #HAC?

We’ve taken the very best trails we could find in the stunning Himalayan forest, plus the surrounding mountains of the Ganga valley. Threw in a river too and you have the canvas on which we have painted our latest offering into an incredible weekend of adventure! So make sure you come and get your annual health check-up in the Himalayas at HAC!


"An absolutely fantastic test of endurance in the Himalayas organised brilliantly from the heart by Aquaterra. Would highly recommend anyone inclined to adventure sports to participate and experience this event. I loved it and will be back in 2019, hoping to make it to the top 3 in the Zealot category. A special thanks to Aquaterra staff and crew for conducting and running the event so smoothly."
