The ITERA expedition race will start at 8am on Monday 9th August. The long-awaited start location has been revealed and competitors know they will be travelling from Caernarfon to Cardiff over the course of the race. The exact route remains unknown (to the teams), until they register on Saturday.

Open Adventure’s live coverage website has had a makeover, and brings together all the information you might want to know as the route is revealed and the teams progress.

The home page gathers live tracking, leaderboard, news and photos together, and you can did deeper from that page to find more detailed information. A new addition for this event is the ability to customise your own homepage – so that your favourite teams details are at the top of the page. You can also send messages to your teams via Trail Mail.

Follow the race there, and keep in touch on twitter.com/openadventure & on facebook.com/openadventure.

No worries, James Thurlow
