"Adventure Racing is a kick in the pants!"
~ DMA, Spokane, Washington
Adventure Racing, or "AR," is one of the fastest growing sports in the US, and one of the most rewarding!
Combine the thrills and challenges of mountain biking and trail running, and add in kayaking and orienteering and you've got the basis for a cool race...
Now possibly add in such diverse activities as inline skating, swimming, ropes elements, zip lining, skate-skiing, riverboarding, spelunking, rafting, trekking, stream crossing and even camel riding, and you've got a sport that captivates millions, and can privide you with a lifetime of thrills, chills and excitement!
The races range between "Sprint" races of 2 - 6 hours, all the way to "Expedition-length" events such as Primal Quest that can last in excess of 10 days, and everything in between!
Adventure Sports Week is proud to offer 4 Adventure Races for all ages and abilities...
> The C&C Sprint Adventure Challenge is a 4 - 6 hour long, fast, frenetic contest for every level of racer, from first-timers who want to "give it a try," to experienced veterans who want to challenge themselves against some of the best terrain anywhere.
> The "Crux and the Crucible" is a 3-stage championship event involving multiple disciplines. The racers will be pitted against the amazing north Idaho wilderness and the devious minds of the course designers as they paddle, bike, orienteer and climb their way through 3 days (and One Night!) of great competiton! Racers can choose to race either of the days seperately, or do them both for the ultimate challenge.
The Midnight Ramble will have you travelling overnight by kayak, bike and on foot, navigating from sundown to sunup!
The Crux will kick off Saturday morning with a full day of adventures, including some never-before-in-AR challenges that will delight racers of all abilities!
The Crucible will fill your Sunday with some of the most breathtaking scenery and terrain anywhere!
We will also have an epic rappell during the weekend!
Racers can choose to race any of the races individually, or do two, or even all three of them if you want to try to win the "Crux and Crucible" Overall Championship!
Sound intriguing? I've got to warn you... this habit is highly addictive! Once you get started, you'll be hooked for life!
