Trekking, mountain biking, orienteering, running, archery, kayaking, caving, climbing, canyoning, abseiling, swimming, horse riding, rollerblading …a Raid Adventure is a race lasting one or more days on a mapped route and tackled in teams. And Federica Friz is our champion.
Orienteering is done with a compass and sometimes GPS. Along the route there are checkpoints that have to be reached to avoid incurring penalties, normally in the form of an increase in the time taken. The routes are long (even more than 10 hours consecutively), varied (mountains, hills, sea, lakes, rivers, canyons, plains, beaches…) and can exceed 100 km and 4000 m elevation gain over just one weekend. They are never standard races: distances, specialities and the composition of the teams can all vary.
Dryarn is a fibre suited to all outdoor sports and Federica Friz best represents this quality, throwing herself into multisport competitions with excellent results.
Uniting the people who take part in adventure raids are a respect for nature and a desire to test themselves against their own abilities and those of other teams – as well, of course, as a healthy passion for sport, good physical fitness and a desire to sweat a little (although sometimes during races people think “who on earth made me do this?!?”). During these competitions they have to achieve the highest number of points in a fixed time, or achieve all available points in the shortest possible time. As well as exceptional physical strength, excelling in these races requires high-speed decision-making and constant mental clarity.
Federica has taken Dryarn to the top step of the podium on many occasions… Keep following her!!
