It’s all ACTION

Even though it’s a fun-filled event, the organisers take weapons very seriously and see this event as an excellent way of educating our youth and adults about the correct protocols and ethics when dealing with weapons. Furthermore, it is about bringing back an activity that’s been a big part of our South African culture in an enjoyable and safe way, and in a controlled environment.

ActionMan is split into three main events: ActionMan, ActionKids, and ActionBrats. Teams are welcome in the ActionMan event and it’s not just something for the men. Ladies, this is your opportunity to kick some butt as well. This event really caters to everyone and to make it hassle free, all air rifles and handguns are supplied on the day!

ACTIONMAN

This event is for women, men, and teams aged 14 plus. It starts at 08h00 with a 5 km trail run that leads to a shooting range and this is where participants get to take three shots at a target, using a Crosman TR77 air rifle. From there, you’ll enter the transmission area and hop onto your mountain bike for a 20 km trail ride. Once the ride is completed, you move into the last 2.5 km stretch trail run, which ends back at the shooting range. But it doesn’t end there because there’s still loads more action ahead to test and challenge you. At the range, you will take another three shots at a target, but this time using a Browning BUK URX hand air gun. Thereafter, as you make your way towards the finishing line, there’s an obstacle course to be conquered before you reach the red carpet and a welcoming, cold Guerrilla Energy Drink, a medal, and finishing photo of your accomplishment - because you will have proved yourself to be a worthy ACTIONMAN!

ACTIONKIDS

This event is for kids that range in age between 7 and 13. The fun starts at 10h30 as the ActionKids head off on a 300 m trail run that ends at the shooting range. They are also required to shoot three times at a target, with a Crosman TR77 air rifle. From there, they move into the transition area and get onto their mountain bikes for a 2 km trail ride. This is followed by a 300 m run, which also ends up back at the shooting range. A Browning BUK URX hand air gun is the weapon of choice for the next three shots at a target. Although the end may be in sight, there’s still a tricky obstacle course to get over, under, and through before crossing the finishing line. Successful participants receive a cold Guerrilla Energy Drink or ice cold juice, a medal, and finishing photo, a memento of when they became a true ACTIONKID!
