Team Overview
Established in 2000, Team Helmut Adventure Racing is about testing yourself to the very limit and raising much needed cash in the process.
Set up by three Loughborough University students, the members of the team have one thing in common – their love of pushing themselves to the limit both physically and mentally in some of the worlds’ toughest ultra marathon events.

In March 2008, the team rode in the Sport Relief Super Cycle where Alan Shearer and Adrian Chiles, had to complete 335 miles from Newcastle to London in less than two days helping to raise over £420,000 along the way.
