Race Descriptions
Not every sprint adventure race is the same, but this particular race is designed around a 1.5 to 2-hour winning time. All competitors will finish in 2-3 hours. The race consists of a 2-4 mile trail run, 6-8 mile trail bike ride, 30-45 minutes of paddling, special tests, and a climbing wall.
This race is designed to promote teamwork; each member of the team will compete and finish the race together. Teamwork is also needed to accomplish the special test; of which there will be approximately 4 to 6 in this race. The exact race distance/order will not be disclosed to you.
