Hello sheffield, ever heard of the "Rat Race"

This is taken from the web site(ratraceadventure.com/)]

"Taking adventure sports out of the wilderness and putting them onto the streets of the World's coolest cities, the Rat Race is a totally unique adventure challenge in which teams race in a multi-sport test of navigation, endurance, skills and guts on a course that is only revealed hours before the event begins. Choose from Saturday’s “Mean Streets;” a fast, furious hunt for checkpoint challenges scattered all over the city centre and open to anyone with a pair of trainers and a sense of humour. Or go for Sunday’s “Nine2Five” adventure, offering a full day’s worth of biking, abseiling, kayaking, climbing, navigation and mystery challenges city-wide. If you are up for the ultimate urban adventure, then sign up for both installments of action and ratify yourself by completing the legendary Rat Race Weekender.

The Rat Race Urban Adventure is designed to be extreme fun for all abilities from armchair adventurer to elite adventure racer. If you want to see the City from a totally unique perspective, then this is the event for you! Join the Rat Race and beat the Rat Race."

If you checked out the website, ti looks awesome right?

I guess you need to be fit enough to GET ROUND
a full day’s worth of biking, abseiling, kayaking, climbing, navigation and mystery challenges city-wide. Check out the website ratraceadventure.com
Its all about taking part and getting round not winning(unless your a fitness ninja).
There is a while to the event so with a bit of training, you could easily do it, as long as you have the determination do keep going knowing you a way to go when you get tired.
Dont let yourself in a few months say 'I coulda/shoulda/woulda done it'..... Do it.
Give me a shout if you wanna team up and enter :) It will be something youll remember for years to come :)

For the Saturday short Mean Streat event: £35 per person
For the Sunday Nine 2 Five Event (which is the one with all the bells and whistles: £69 per person.
For both: £99 per person

The Nine to Five is the one I am looking to do, but I am open to both.
£69 may sound a lot, but when you think, you get all those activities/challenges + Tshirt etc its not much for a great day :) You only live once.
