In 2007, the adventure race Fusion was birthed in Trinidad and Tobago as a means of promoting the sport which hosted fourteen( 14) teams that year and grew to participation by over one hundred( 100) teams annually; Fusion VIII in 2014 marked the first year that Fusion ventured out of Trinidad to Tobago with 84 teams.
The event, which recognises three categories, namely male, female and mixed, takes competitors through mountain trails and other terrain, offering the opportunity for persons to discover the veiled treasures of the island from a unique perspective. Additionally, it offers intrigue as participants are only informed of what is required of them at each successive stage; emphasis is placed on teamwork, rather than individual achievement. Pushing the limits of endurance, successful teams of four( 4) band together to overcome and adapt to the challenges set before them both physically and mentally; it is a platform for personal development in a fun and positive team environment.
This event tests team spirit, ingenuity, skill and commitment while exploring the boundaries of what’ s possible by pushing oneself physically and mentally. Managed and coordinated by Fusion Adventures, our slogan-“ When you cross the finish line, you’ ll know a little more about yourself” aptly represents Fusion’ s objectives.
A keystone of all of Fusion’ s activities is a reputation for safety. Through extensive event planning, experience and teamwork, we ensure delivery of a safe event with high standard and a strong sense of fun with camaraderie.
Fusion’ s healthy following is clearly evident from the website visits at www. fusionadventurerace. com and its fan page on the social network Facebook with more than 38,000 likes. Its ever growing popularity has attracted organizers of other regional and internationally recognized adventure races to use Fusion to market their races. The sport and the event have grown significantly; however, there is ample room for continued growth which can positively benefit sponsors, participants and the Caribbean.
