Adventure Racing Clinics for NEW RACERS 

We are currently not holding any 2022 clinics, but if you have a small group,
and an  interest in some training send us an email. 

OUR 2021 CLINIC SERIES HAS COME TO A CLOSE. WE WERE THRILLED TO HOST A SERIES OF 6 CLINICS THROUGH THE SPRING,SUMMER AND FALL. 
CHECK BACK FOR WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR THE FUTURE!
 

 

Did you watch Eco-Challenge Fiji 2019 on Amazon Prime and say "I want to do that!"

Maybe you've never done an adventure race but would like to learn how?

We have the perfect clinic series for you!
 
This clinic series is for complete novices where we spend a day with you and your teammate and give you an immersion experience into our sport of adventure racing. You will be paired up with a mentor for the entire clinic - this is someone who has many years of race experience and will escort you through the different legs of the clinic, sharing their experience with you and answering questions while guiding you through our program.
 
Adventure racing is a team multisport (trekking, biking, paddling, navigation) and we will introduce participants to the gear, strategy, training, and teamwork necessary to complete and have fun in an adventure race.
 
We ask that you sign up as a team of 2 participants. In adventure racing, teams can be single-sex, or coed (most races encourage coed teams) so choose your partner that best fits your plans. 
 
We are keenly aware of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and will take all precautions and adhere to all rules of gathering including proper social distancing and mask-wearing as appropriate.
 
DATES AND LOCATIONS:
Clinic Times are 10am -3pm. Specific driving directions and details will be provided after you register.
 
SPACES ARE LIMITED TO 8 PEOPLE = 4 TEAMS OF 2. IN ORDER TO GIVE AS MANY PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN YOU MAY ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE CLINIC. 
 
REGISTRATION AND REFUND POLICY: Registration will be done through active.com. The cost is $20 per person. The registration site is set up for you to register both you and your teammate at the same time. Please have their information available (name, address, email, phone, DOB)
 
All of our clinic leaders are volunteers, and are really looking forward to spending the day with you! 
 
Please make every effort to attend this clinic once you have registered. If for some reason you cannot attend, you can have someone else go in your place- just send us an email and let us know. We also know that things happen, and we will work with you to put your fee toward a future clinic or race registration. Just keep communicating with us!
