What is Adventure Racing?
The sport consists of a series of consecutive outdoor endurance challenges (running, biking, paddling, etc) that require teams to navigate an unmarked course from start to finish. Race routes are designated by checkpoint coordinates that racers must plot on a map and then locate during the race. Checkpoints are kept secret until just before the race starts. Teams are required to combine physical endurance, psychological toughness, outdoor savy, and athletic skill across a variety of disciplines. While solid fitness is a prerequisite, successful adventure racers are those with the ability to contend with rigors of nonstop racing including sleep deprivation, unpredictable weather, blisters, and general fatigue.
