As featured in the June Edition of Trail Runner Magazine.

 

The goal of each of our events is to promote adventure racing and further the sport. With our events and clinics, everyone can race and get something from it. From veteran racers to the beginning adventure racers we make our races challenging, yet achievable.

Sprint Races will encompass all of the disciplines of adventure racing. We build our courses around most of the middle of the pack finishing under the cutoff. Our organization prides ourselves on being able to provide you with a challenging, yet achievable, event which is professionally run and fun for everyone.

Our courses will have all disciplines normally found in all adventure races, covering Mountain Biking, Running/ Hiking, Paddling, Navigation (Advanced Racers only) and possibly some special skills to keep you thinking on your feet.

 

Sprint Course Racers will not be required to navigate a course, instead will be challenged with a course consisting of running, mountain biking, and paddling while collecting checkpoints throughout the marked course.

 

Advanced Course Racers will navigate a course and collect checkpoints while completing all of the disciplines of the basic race.

 

Both Sprint and Advanced Participants will carry a passport and punch the appropriate checkpoints throughout the course.

 

All of our races will have a set cutoff regardless of division. Racers should prepare for 5 to 6 hours of racing. See the race cutoffs section on our rules page. Sprint racers may have a shorter course than the Advanced Racers due to the difficulty of adding in navigation. 

 

Each race will consist of the following sport disciplines:

 

Running – Participants will run a marked course from 3 to 6 miles. The course may consist of paved trails/streets and dirt trails.

 

Mountain Biking – The mountain bike section will be approximately 10 to 15 miles and can consist of paved areas, gravel roads, and single track (thin dirt trails) sections.

 

Paddling – Paddling will be done with a inflatable boat and kayak style paddle, or a canoe and regular paddle (boat will depend on race organizers. All racers will use the same type of boat and paddles). All racers will wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) at all times while on the water and during night races will have a working glow stick affixed to the PFD. Boats, Paddles, and PFD's will be provided by race management.

 

Team Special Tests – Each participant may have to complete a special skill  or be awarded a penalty (these will be determined by the race staff prior to the event.). These skills will consist of physical and problem solving skills and are designed to challenge you as a team.  

 

Orienteering/ Navigation - (Advanced Sprint Racers Only) Advanced racers will navigate through the course using a map and compass, while collecting checkpoints along the course. Racers must know how to plot a course, using a UTM reader and coordinates, and navigate terrain on a 1:24K topographic map. No Electronic devices other than an altimeter may be used. (Clinics are offered)

 

Approximate distances for both races are:

Running/ Hiking 4 to 6 miles

Biking 10 to 15 miles

Canoeing 1 to 2 miles
