What is Adventure Racing?
Adventure Racing is a continuous sport requiring team travel in any outdoor environment. Activities may include orienteering (with only a map and compass- no GPS!), mountain biking, trail running or hiking, canoeing or kayaking or rafting, climbing and rappelling. Races vary from 2-6 hour sprints to 8-14 hour races to 10-day expeditions throughout the world. Details are at www.usara.com.

Anyone in reasonable health can complete a 4 hour or 7 hour race… you will define your goals and go for it. The most successful teams have someone who is good at navigation, and they share decision making. They like outdoor challenges. And they laugh a lot!

All events will happen regardless of weather. Weather will happen.
Bring more layers! It is an adventure, after all.

There are 2 designs for adventure races. One is a start-to-finish design, like in triathlon. The second is a rogaine, used in orienteering competitions. We will offer both designs in 2008. The Jeep Adventure Race Series #1,2,3 races are a rogaine design, so that everyone starts and finishes at the same time. You and your teammates can do any number of activities during that time period. There will be too many checkpoints available. The team with the most checkpoints in that period of time is the winner. Strategy is a race element. Plus, at the end we can celebrate with stories and schwag prizes... The Jeep Adventure Race Series #4 and 5 races are a start-to-finish design. There will be a mass start and a set order of progression. The team with the most checkpoints and the fastest time is the winner.

There will be an overall series prize winner (Jeep Adventure Race Series #2,3,5) and event winners (by gender and category at Jeep Adventure Race Series #2,3,4,5).
