Image Credits, Adventure Racing and Lifelong Pursuits
As well as having professional careers and business lives the people at CoVenture have lifelong relationships with endurance sports, adventures and working with others in some extreme environments.
CoVenture draws inspiration from the essence of an adventure racing team which needs a navigator, a leader, a pack horse or two to carry the load and a commitment to working together when the going gets tough.
We can fill any role your ownership team needs!
