Bentota Zone takes Red Bull title

Bentota Zone took the bull by the horns as they bagged the second edition of the Red Bull Levels by claiming the event for the ultimate test of body and mind on February 21 at the Bentota Beach

"We are so happy to have won a competition in our hometown, in front of all our friends and family," said a spokesman for Bentota Zone.. "We owe it all to Red Bull, all the sponsors and our very own Bentota Beach by Cinnamon for making this happen. We look forward to competitions like this in the future and we will be ready to win again".

Red Bull Levels is inspired by age-old techniques to deliver an all-new experience, combining the traditional mastery of stilt fishing and toddy-tapping in an obstacle course unlike anything the world has ever seen before.

This year, Bentota Zone competed against 59 other teams in a challenging race across five traditional fishing stilts of different heights.

The rising tides and sunshine of Bentota Beach made the course tougher by the hour as each team raced against the clock on tightropes from stilt to stilt. Bentota Zone breezed through the group qualifying stages, but the competition grew fierce as they endured the intensity of the quarter-finals and semi finals.Bentota Zone faced the other three teams Sharks, One Summer and 2015 Champions A350 in the grand final where they triumphed with a winning time of five hours and 46.54 minutes.
