Organiser's Description

Paddle - Trek - Navigate
"The perfect mix of thinking and movement!" - Past Participant"One of the FUNNEST things I have ever done with my family" - Past Participant
Make a team or go solo as the temperatures start cooling off and the leaves start falling and changing color during our Fall Foliage Adventure Race in and around the stunningly beautiful Mott's Run Reservoir Recreation Area. If you love being outdoors, then this is the event for you. 
 
To bike or not to bike, the choice is up to you ;)
4-hour Race: "no biking!" As is tradition for our Fall Foliage Adventure Race, we will have a "no biking" trek and paddle only beginner style race that will start alongside the bigger race, and consist of some smaller parts of, our larger race,
15-hour Race: Our biggest/longest race yet. A 15-hour race into the night! That's right, we've been working so hard on this course design, we cannot wait for everyone to experience it. The only way to fit all of it in is to start at sun-up and race all the way to midnight :) We're going to take you on a tour of the great outdoors this area has to offer including all kinds of navigation, trekking, biking, paddling and even a small bit of optional rock climbing!
New to adventure racing? What is an adventure race? Simply put, Adventure Racing (AR) is orienteering (navigating with a map and compass) but via multiple modes of travel. Unlike your average 10K/5K, marathon or obstacle course race where there is a strict roped off race course to follow; with orienteering/AR you are given a map with marked checkpoints (CPs), and its up to you/your team to decide & navigate which route you think is most optimal and find as many checkpoints as you can within a time limit. The best teams will work together and help each other to not only go fast, but also efficiently, acquiring the most checkpoints wins (fastest time as tie-breaker).
Spectators are welcome to watch, hang out, take pictures, fish or just picnic in the park during this event but are NOT allowed to assist participants.  This is a USARA-sanctioned race.
