Calling all adventure sports enthusiasts !!!
August 7, 2007
An Invitation to all extreme sports enthusiasts and
adventure lovers, we are organising Brunei’s first
extreme adventure competition, the Brunei
Adventure Race 2007 or BAR2007.
The Brunei Adventure Race 2007 will be held
throughout November 2007, in all four districts of
Brunei Darussalam. The race will kick off on the
first Sunday of November in Temburong and will
continue on every Sunday thereafter.
The BAR is supported by Tourism Brunei as well
as the MCYS.
The race will take you through four disciplines,
mainly footwork and roadwork,
orienteering, rope and rock climbing, and water
adventures. The race will also take you through
some of the most beautiful sceneries on Brunei
Darussalam as well as the jungles of our interiors.
It will also incorporate some of our local
cultures and disciplines, such as ’sumpit’, as well as
traditional activities as ‘mengatam padi’ or rice
harvesting the traditional way. It will be fun. It will
be challenging. It will be something to remember.
So if you’re up to it, get four friends together and
register!
Oh, as a teaser of what the race is all about, we will
be holding a teaser event, the Xtreme
adventure Challenge @ JP Playground this
August the 26th. Same rules, slightly different
format, but extreme challenge just the same. Join
us and have fun!
Hello, me and a couple of my friends are very interested in this event. Although more information about requirements and restrictions would be much more of assistance. How old do we have to be? or do we all have to be citizens of yellow I/Cs? Could you please email us back more of the details?
Thank you!
Hi Amalina,
Thank you for your interest. Basically to participate, you just need to be moderately fit and healthy and you are up for a challenge. Age requirements .. at least 12 years old. Just remember that in Adventure Racing, all members of the team have to finish at the same time, together. And some tasks would require teamwork to finish. So team selection is important. You dont need a yellow IC…as long as you’re residents, you qualify. Drop by to our office at Intrepid Teams at PGGMB building and fill a form. It’d be fun!
Jo.

Hi AMy,
Thanks for spotting that. Are you going to be joining us on Sunday? If you’re not competing, drop by to see what the race is all about.
hi, i would like to know, since the actual event for the above race is postponed to feb-mar 08, is there any possibilities that there will be a re-opening of entries?
me and my frens are really eager to join and have been asking around for the latest update or information on BAR. We could not enter previously as a fren of mine was still in UK, now she’s back already..
Please please.. i need to join. FYI, i have joined the Amazing Race Asia, sent in an entry to singapore with videos and forms but unfortunately we were not called in for any interviews etc.
Thats y im really looking forward for this BAR, cos i know, Amazing Race AXN is my favourite show ever..
Really looking forward for your favorable reply..
