12 Hour
This goal in this Adventure Race format is to bring your team together across the finish line with the most CPs. Teams are provided a set of topographical maps with Checkpoint (CP) locations plotted. You will know you've found a CP by the bright orange flag. All participants will be transported by Shuttle Bus from the Race Headquarters to the Race Start. The race is divided into four stages. Some strategic decision making is required. Teams must return to the finish line before the race cutoff time. Details of the course are withheld until a designated time prior to the race Start. Racers can expect total Paddling between 9-12 miles, Bike between 25-35 miles and Hike on foot 15-18 miles. Biking will be on paved road, some MTB trail, and a little in-between. It is common for teams to choose to shorten a section of the course in favor of focusing on other sections. Paddling will be on a river. Plan accordingly for safety and warmth. A dry suit is not required gear, but may be helpful depending on conditions. Boat rentals include canoe paddles and PFDs. However you may bring your own gear to use instead. Please view the video linked from our website titled: "River Hazards and Safety on the Water While Canoeing" https://youtu.be/iLhYsLL4Dgc Water Stations will be available. A detailed information packet will be distributed to all participants prior to the race.

Organiser's description
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.
Still not sure exactly what to expect? I understand - that is part of the appeal and challenge of this sport. For those who are new to this type of event, we welcome you and well support you. You'll find all the experienced participants to be friendly and helpful as they welcome you right in. 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.
But if you've never done this before, don't hesitate to try it. This 12-Hour event is not a Beginner level course, but it is great for anyone trying this length for the first time.
