The Savage Adventure Race

Sunday April 29, 2012

Nockamixon State Park: Quakertown, PA

20 miles/6 hour adventure race

10 miles/3 hour sprint course

TWO GREAT RACES IN ONE GREAT DAY!

The Savage Adventure Race is a great race for those new to the sport, as well as for those seasoned athletes looking for a challenge. We'll give you 6 hours to complete the 20 mile course.

Approximate race distances.......
5 miles of running, trekking, orienteering
10 miles of mountain biking
5 miles of canoe paddling plus fun team challenges.

If you can't commit to the day for the 6 hour course, or are just getting your athletic toes back up and running, then try out the 3 hour adventure sprint. You'll get all the challenge and fun of the longer course but with half the distances.

No navigational “plotting” experience required for either race. If you can read a map, you can do this !

 
Grab some friends and come on out for a great, fun challenge!
