Race Director

Alan Bishop is an entrepreneur, producer, facilitator and adventure-based consultant with over 20 years of global adventure experience.

He has raced in some of the world’s most extreme expedition races (Eco-Challenge, Southern Traverse, Elf Authentic Adventure), has designed and produced challenges on TV shows such as Survivor and The Amazing Race, and continues to facilitate workshops and sessions with corporate teams around the world. He is excited to re-join the Power To Play team and can't wait to see the teams test themselves, challenge themselves and have an amazing time on the course.

The course is designed with 3 main components in mind:
  1. Allow everyone to have the ability to finish the race
  2. Make it fun, safe and meaningful to the teams competing
  3. Provide the participants with an experience that blows them away and allows their teams to bond, participate together and enjoy each other like never before.
