POLAR CHALLENGE SIMULATION

The Polar Challenge Simulation allows teams to race to (an imaginary!) magnetic North Pole. Based on the training used with real Polar Challenge racers we have designed this to be a fun and engaging way to build your team. Visit checkpoints, avoid polar bears, look after your kit and race to the Pole with us!

Teams compete head to head in a series of outdoor challenges in a bid to be the first to get to the North Pole. Teams will encounter a series of simulations and problems designed to get teams energized and performing to their best ability…

Group Size 8-20
In small teams you will under go training form an Arctic Explorer before competing against your colleagues in a simulated race to the magnetic North Pole. A series of checkpoints must be reached and a number of tasks completed before reaching the North Pole.

Group Size 20-70
In teams you will receive a briefing from an Arctic Explorer before training starts. In teams, you will learn from real Polar Racers- each team must attend a safety on the ice briefing and kit issue before starting the race. Each team will have a dedicated facilitator and all necessary equipment.

Group Size 70-100
The challenge to reach the North Pole… after an introduction from the Polar Challenge Logistics Director prepare, in teams, to race to the magnetic North Pole. Each team must plan their route and achieve a number of tasks at each checkpoint. There will be a dedicated facilitator for every two teams.
