About The Race:
This race will be easy to moderate difficulty and will serve as a great race for beginners or intermediate racers preparing for a longer race. This race will be true to classic AR tradition, which means teams will rely on navigating themselves through each stage of the race while making strategic decisions. This will not be an "Off-road Triathlon". Pre-marked topographical maps will be provided to the racers along with a passport that teams must use to verify the control point locations. No support crew will be needed although be prepared for a pre-race gear and/or bike drop in a remote location different from the start and finish. Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers. All teams must complete the course in 6 hours with their passport to be considered at ranked team. Team and individual racers will be required to carry the mandatory gear throughout the entire race. SEE MANDATORY GEAR LIST.
New for 2010 the Adventure Challenge events are part of the National Checkpointtracker Series. To me counted towards the national series, teams must register on the Checkpoint Tracker website: www.checkpointtracker.com

Trekking / Orienteering:
The total trekking will be 5 to 8 miles depending on the selected route and number of CP's achieved. The terrain will vary from trails to dense brush, woodlands, swamps, and open fields. Maps will be USGS 1:24000 but might be printed in multiple scales. Maps will be pre-marked with the control points.

Canoe:
Teams will be paddling 3 to 6 miles depending on their route. The canoes, life jackets and paddles will be provided. These are included in the cost of the race. Non "open div." Teams will not be allowed to use thier own canoes and paddles. Every racer must wear a life jacket at all times while on or in the water.

Mountain Bike:
The mountain bike stage(s) will be 8 to 15 miles in length. Teams must navigate trails and roads to locate and check in at each of the required checkpoints. The course will include single track but may also include portions on a mix of dirt and paved roads.

Divisions:
There's 4 divisions: 2 person Male, 2 person Female, 2 person Coed and 2 person Open. Teams in the Open Div. can be made up of any gender and will not be racing against the other division since their course may not be entirely the same. These teams will also be resposible for their own canoes, paddles and PFD's. So kayak paddles and personal canoes are permitted. Winners of the Open Division will win Cash ($500 PURSE) instead of the prizes from our sponsors. Race Management reserves the right to move any registered team to the Open division based on skill and experience. This will ensure the remaining divisions are for the beginner to intermediate racers. Divisions might start in multiple heats. Which heat you're in will be determined on race day.
