BB Adventure Quest 2009

Our boys took part in this year's BB Adventure Quest and managed to complete the race, attaining the Bronze Honour Roll along the way.

This was a result of perservance and hard work especially during the training stages where they had to run at least 5km every Friday.

Arriving at the start point at 330am, the boys started the Quest and finally completed the Quest at 330pm, arriving at the end point after a tiring race. They had to complete a total race of approximately 40km, comprising of a running/walking stage, a kayaking stage and a cycling stage. In addition, they also had to complete stations such as archery, sudoku and soccer.

Well done, 79th Coy!
