RUNNER Zhara, sea quest 2020
Adventure sailing quest RUNNER Zhara! will be held from June 13 to 20 in the waters and lands of the Saronic Gulf.
This area south of Athens, that many yachtsmen know, was the venue for the very first ever RUNNER in 2012 AD, as well as Runner SPARTA in 2015 and ARGO in 2017. We are coming back to this interesting water area in 2020!
This will be fun! The coastline with many outstanding locations (historical, military, civil and natural checkpoints of varying degrees of difficulty), friendly Aborigines (agents who switched to the Dark Side, specially recruited by TrySail for this event), and interesting twists of the game plot.
Eight years ago, the first Runner game started. Years go by, the format of the game is being improved with many details added. But your drive and crazy energy remain unchanged! We have collected all the best details, which we all love this format for! There will be a special program, serious battles, fascinating scenarios, more than 20 check points and, as always, a lot of fun!
Anyone can join whether you have yachting experience or not! You can come with your team with or without your skipper, we can help you find a skipper who will lead you to victory! Or if you don’t have your own team, we will help you join a fun company of adventure lovers, where you will meet good people, new friends and challenge old teams!
