Some 155 teams comprising 465 participants gathered at the Moonemale Estate at Kaluaggala recently to contest the second edition of the Red Bull Tuk It.
The event lasted more than 36 hours crossing more than 15 cities over a distance of 200 kilometers from Kaluaggala to Negombo through a challenging route that involved hill climbs, river crossings, mud pits and harsh weather.
Even though being a new team ‘Weliweriya Boom 6’ got a hold of survival tips quickly by conversing with the returning teams, coupled with great round one points lead and patient navigational instruction through the second, led them to claim the top spot in the podium.
Team Nipun Baja from Negombo and Weliweriya Boom 3 were also able to end up with podium finishes at second and third places respectively.
The most creative tuk-tuk award was won by Team No. 067 from Nuwara Eliya for the most original design using the Red Bull can.
