wherein the at least one rotating member can roll above the wheel support of the zip track.

11. The track system of claim 10 , wherein the puck track extends alongside the zip track between the two structures of the challenge course, with the puck support of the puck track being arranged above the wheel support of the zip track.

12. The track system of claim 11 , wherein the puck does not contact the puck support when the at least one rotating member is displaced along the wheel support through at least part of the zip track.

13. The track system of claim 10 , wherein the puck track comprises a puck-track opening extending through the puck support, and the body extends downward from the puck through the puck-track opening when the body is displaced along the puck track.

14. The track system of claim 13 , wherein the zip track comprises a zip track opening extending through the wheel support, and the body extends downward from the at least one rotating member through the zip track opening when the body is displaced along the zip track.

15. The track system of claim 10 , wherein the first end of the zip track is vertically higher than the second end of the zip track.

16. The track system of claim 10 , wherein the zip track has a non-linear slope.

17. The track system of claim 10 , wherein a first rotating member and a second rotating member are arranged on opposing sides of the body.

18. The track system of claim 17 , wherein the first rotating member and the second rotating member are rollably disposed above the wheel support on opposite sides of a zip track opening which extends through the wheel support, when the body is displaced along the zip track.

19. The track system of claim 10 , further comprising a braking means to slow the body when the body is displaced along the zip track.

20. A challenge course comprising:

a plurality of puck tracks traversing elements of the challenge course;

a zip track having a first end at one platform of the challenge course and a second end at another platform of the challenge course;

the first end of the zip track is integrally connected to a first puck track of the challenge course;

the second end of the zip track is integrally connected to a second puck track of the challenge course;

the zip track has a puck support and a wheel support, the wheel support being provided below the puck support;

a body having a puck and at least one rotating member, the at least one rotating member being disposed on the body downwardly from the puck;

the body extends from the puck to attach to a lanyard, the lanyard can be attached to a safety harness worn by a user;

wherein the puck of the body is moveably disposed above the puck support of the zip track;

wherein the at least one rotating member of the body is moveably disposed above the wheel support of the zip track;

wherein the body can move between the plurality of puck tracks and the zip track.

21. The challenge course of claim 20 , wherein the puck support extends above the wheel support between the first end and the second end of the zip track.

22. The challenge course of claim 21 , wherein the puck does not contact the puck support when the at least one rotating member is displaced along the wheel support through at least part of the zip track.

23. The challenge course of claim 20 , wherein the puck support comprises a puck-track opening extending therethrough, and the body extends downward from the puck through the puck-track opening when the puck is displaced along the puck support.
