A
UNIQUE
EXPERIENCE
WOP Challenge is a relay sports event, Trail / Running or Trekking challenge, and a great personal and collective adventure in which strategy and teamwork are fundamental.
Participants will have to work as a team to complete the challenge. Starting with the organization and the distribution of stages, continuing with the planning of the logistics to reach the relay points and ending with the race-weekend itself, living the live experience.

SPECTACULAR
DEPLOYMENT OF RESOURCES
Each team will have a geolocator chip that the official relay of each stage will need to carry. This GPS allows the permanent control center of the race to follow and control each participant in real time.
Throughout the route there will be control and refreshment points, as well as vehicles covering the stages and medical staff: a field hospital, ambulances, bicycles, motorcycles, quads and all-terrain vehicles among others.
