The Adventure Show | Reis ITERA 2025
Presenter Calum Maclean captains a team of elite athletes in a gruelling adventure race over five days.
An neach-l矛bhrigidh Calum MacIlleathain os cionn sgioba de sh脿r l霉th-chleasaichean - Marie Meldrum, Kerry Nic a Ph矛 agus Aonghas Moireach 鈥� anns an tachartas as cruaidhe dhe leithid a-riamh ann an Alba. Tha r猫is ITERA a鈥� gabhail a-steach ruith, rothaireachd-beinne agus caidheagadh, cho fada ri 600 cilemeatar ann an 5 latha.
Ga dh猫anamh nas d霉bhlanaiche, chan eil aon stad-oidhche anns a鈥� chl脿r, agus feumaidh na sgiobaidhean mionaidean cadail fhaighinn nuair a bhios an cothrom sin aca. Cha bhi fiosrachadh aca mun t-slighe gus an oidhche ron 脿m, agus 脿s aonais slighe shuidhichte ri leantainn, feumaidh iad an i霉l fh猫in a phlanadh eadar gach 矛re. Ga dh猫anamh nas d霉bhlanaiche buileach, cha bhi cead aca taic 霉r-n貌sach, leithid uidheamhachd GPS, a chleachdadh. Feumaidh na sgiobaidhean an stuth pearsanta aca fh猫in a ghi霉lain cuideachd. Leis a sin bidh an tachartas seo mu dheidhinn t貌rr a bharrachd air fallaineachd is neart, agus 鈥檚 ann air ro-innleachd a bhios buaidh an crochadh. Ann an toinneamh ris nach bi d霉il, bidh 脿ireamh de dh鈥櫭瑀ean s貌nraichte a鈥� feitheamh air na sgiobaidhean far am feum iad d霉bhlain dheuchainneach a choileanadh.
Tha ITERA mar ph脿irt de shreath cruinneil anns nach cuir ach 30% de sgiobaidhean cr矛och air a鈥� ch霉rsa gu l猫ir. An t猫id aig an sgioba againne air sin a dh猫anamh no an g猫ill iad ro chr矛ch na c霉ise. Bidh camarathan an Adenture Show aig cridhe an tachartais, a鈥� cl脿radh gach n矛 a thig gu buil nuair a bhios s脿r luchd-r猫isidh air am putadh gu cr矛ochan an fhulangais 鈥� agus ma dh鈥檉haoidte, thar nan cr矛ochan sin.
Calum Maclean captains a team of elite adventure athletes - Marie Meldrum, Kerry MacPhee and Angus Murray - in the hardest event of its type ever held in Scotland. The ITERA adventure race involves running, mountain biking, trekking and paddling an estimated 600km in five days.
To make it more demanding, there are no scheduled overnight stops - teams grab a few minutes sleep when they can. Racers don鈥檛 see the route until the night before the event starts, and with no set map to follow, they must plan their own way between checkpoints. What's more challenging is they can鈥檛 use modern aids like GPS devices. Teams must also carry all their own personal gear. So this event is about much more than fitness - strategy is key to success. In an unexpected twist, there are a number of unannounced special stages with demanding challenges.
The ITERA is part of a world series where only 30 per cent of the teams usually survive to complete the full course. So will our team make it to the finish line or fall along the way? Cameras are at the heart of action to see what happens when you push top adventure racers to the limit - and even beyond.
