Teams will Paddle, Bike, Trek, and Navigate to collect Checkpoints over a large geographical area. You'll be using a map and magnetic compass with no help from GPS. Bring plenty of energy, determination, and teamwork. This beautiful arena will be a worthy adversary and an adventure playground.

We're kicking off the Spring Season with our top-notch regional race. Get your team together, dust off your equipment and skills, and join us for the challenge and the celebration.

This year we'll have a twelve-hour and six-hour race to choose from. If you've ever done this before, then choose the 12-hour. If this is completely new to you, we'll challenge you with the 6-hour race and you'll come back wanting more.

Still not sure exactly what to expect? We understand - that is part of the appeal and challenge of this sport. If this type of event is new to you, we welcome you and we’ll support you. You'll find all the experienced participants to be friendly, helpful, and cheering you on. And when you finish, you will know that you and your team just did something special.

For experienced racers, we can promise that all three disciplines will factor into your success. This course will deliver a satisfying combination of strategic route planning, technical orienteering, and physical achievement.
- Canoes are included for the 12-hour race
- There is no paddling in the 6-hour race
- Both races will spend about half the time on-foot
