Land Rover 64 Challenge Kicks Off Final Stage of Competition in Las Vegas
WHO: Land Rover G4 Challenge WHAT: The G4 Challenge is a global adventure that tests the skills of men and women from 16 countries in various adventure sports and off-road driving tasks. Having been around the world since the start of the Challenge, the competitors are heading back to the West Coast to kick off the final stage of the competition in Las Vegas before finishing up in the adventure capital of Moab, Utah on Saturday, April 26th. A nearly 40 vehicle convoy will be departing the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas on Tuesday morning. WHERE: Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas 101 Montelago Blvd. Henderson, NV 89011 WHEN: Tuesday, April 22, 2003 9:00 a.m. Competition: 16 competitors function in eight two-person teams and choose how to reach a series of location markers. Kayaks, mountain bikes, climbing equipment, GPS tools and map coordinates will be provided to assist the competitors in reaching said markers. The team with the most points at the end of each stage wins that segment. An individual overall winner will be crowned at the end of the Challenge and will drive away a new Range Rover. The Challenge so far has traveled from the urban jungle of Manhattan, to the lush South African coastline and deep into the Pilbara region of Australia. Vehicles: The Land Rover G4 Challenge will exclusively feature Land Rover vehicles. The competitors will drive a different Land Rover on each stage of the Challenge.
Interview opportunities are available at a 7:30 p.m. dinner tonight while outstanding photo and digital opportunities are available at the kick off at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning, both of which are at the Hyatt.
