Adventure Race Challenge

Back to Trailhead Missions

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?

Adventure Race Challenge 🛶 Canoe across lake 2 km 🚶 Walk to trail (150 m) 🥾 Hike forest trail 5000 m 🚶 Walk to rock wall (75 m) 🧗 Climb rock wall 25 m 🚶 Walk to path (200 m) 🏃 Run mountain path 3.5 km What is the TOTAL distance participants travel?

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.

Solution Breakdown Step 1: Convert all distances to meters (m) 🛶 Canoe 2 km → 2000 m 🚶 Walk 150 m 🥾 Hike 5000 m 🚶 Walk 75 m 🧗 Climb 25 m 🚶 Walk 200 m 🏃 Run 3.5 km → 3500 m + TOTAL SUM = 10,950 m Total Distance: 10,950 m (or 10.95 km)
