For those looking for a little shorter adventure, there will be a “Sprint” race to accompany each long course race.
Open to individuals, and men’s, women’s and co-ed teams of 2, 3, & 4 racers, this is a great way to give Adventure Racing a try, as the sprints are shorter, frenetic contests between 2 & 4 hours long, featuring the same disciplines over a shorter distance, and are suited for competitors of every level of experience from veteran racers to first-timers! Yes, you can do these events without any previous experience!
Each day will feature a completely original course on, over and around the shores of Lake Pend Oreille.
As a special bonus, your kayak, PFD and paddle are included in your entry for the sprint races!
Both races will feature approximately 10-15 miles of biking on varied terrain, 3—4 miles on foot, and 1—2 miles of kayaking, as well as some fun, wet surprises, and a short orienteering section. Athletes who compete in BOTH sprint races will be eligible for the major prize awarded to the combined champions of both races.
