Thrill - seekers across the Isle of Man have something to look forward to this summer.

An adventure race will be taking place in June, it's a mixture of adventure sports, like abseiling and kayaking.

Two team members have to compete in each of the six separate outdoor disciplines.

The race will be spread over the last two days of the Adventure Week (June 26th and 27th) with three disciplines each day. These are: a 1km sea swim, a 12km sea kayak race, a 12km mountain bike course, 8km hill run, 80metres rope ascend and 800metres of coasteering.

Keirron Tastagh, Director of Adventurous Experiences, is behind the scheme and told 3FM more about it.
