Adventure Race Challenge

The Woodland Adventure Race has four stages.

Participants must complete each stage in order:

  1. Canoe across a lake for 2 kilometres.
  2. Hike a forest trail for 5000 metres.
  3. Climb a rock wall that is 25 metres high.
  4. Run a path around the base of the mountain for 3.5 kilometres.

Between each stage, participants must walk to the next starting point:

  • 150 metres from the lake to the forest trail start
  • 75 metres from the forest trail end to the rock wall
  • 200 metres from the rock wall to the mountain path

What is the total distance participants travel during the entire Adventure Race Challenge?

1. Canoe (2 km) 2. Hike (5000 m) 3. Climb (25 m) 4. Run (3.5 km) Adventure Race Challenge

Solution

To calculate the total distance, we need to convert all measurements to the same unit (meters) and add them up.

1. Canoe: 2 km = 2000 m
2. Walk to forest trail: 150 m
3. Hike forest trail: 5000 m
4. Walk to rock wall: 75 m
5. Climb rock wall: 25 m
6. Walk to mountain path: 200 m
7. Run mountain path: 3.5 km = 3500 m

Now, let’s add all distances:
2000 + 150 + 5000 + 75 + 25 + 200 + 3500 = 10,950 m

Therefore, the total distance participants travel during the entire Adventure Race Challenge is 10,950 meters or 10.95 km.

We can also present this in a table format:
