2012 9-1-1 Adventure Challenge Sprint AR
Last updated: May 20, 2012 - Three weeks left to register!
Bushwhack Adventures is proud to continue a popular sprint adventure racing event in the Triangle area in 2012 - the 9-1-1 Adventure Challenge! The 911 is designed to introduce new adventure racers to this exciting sport while also giving experienced adventure racers the chance to sharpen their skills.
In this event, teams will be mountain biking, trekking, and swimming for 6 to 8 hours as they navigate their way to find checkpoint flags. Estimated distances in each discipline are: biking 20+ miles,trekking 5+ miles,and swimming 0.5 mile. Your mileage may vary, depending on your team's navigation skills. :)
The course format will be modified rogaine style, with teams having lots of freedom to choose the route they follow to find the checkpoints. The course will not be marked other than by the checkpoint flags themselves.
Scoring will be based on the accumulated point values of the checkpoints found. Some checkpoints are worth more than others, so teams get to use their brains as well as their bodies as they work out a winning strategy for accumulating the most points!
The event will start and finish at Rally Point Sports Bar and Grill, 1837 N Harrison Ave, Cary, NC. Check the Schedule for exact times. Expect some of the traditional Bushwhack perks like a technical race shirt, post-race meal, quality mytopo race maps and more!
First place teams in each Division will get their half of their entry fees back and a 50% discount towards a future Bushwhack Adventures event.
All participants will get a 9-1-1 Adventure Challenge pint glass and a Bushwhack Adventures wicking shirt.
