Join us April 24th for Women Rock Adventure Challenge.

Teams: In the spirit of traditional adventure racing all racers must be apart of a 2-4 person team. This is not a relay, teams will complete the course together. All team members must be within 25 meters of each other (50 yards on bikes) at all times and always within voice and sight.

Course: Before the race teams will receive a set of maps full of checkpoints and transition areas. Teams will navigate their way to checkpoints on bike and foot to complete the course. Unlike a triathlon only checkpoints are marked on maps, how you get there is apart of the strategy and up to you!   Like a triathlon, there will be manned transition areas to safely leave gear you will need to access during the race, i.e. going from trekking to biking.

          The 2010 Women Rock will be set up in a Score-O format, meaning there will be numerous checkpoints on the map, the team with the most checkpoints (not necessarily the fastest) completed at the end of the race wins. For example if Team A completes 16 checkpoints in 5 hours and Team B completes 15 checkpoints in 4 hours, Team A is the winner. In the event of a tie, time will be the deciding factor. For example, if two teams both complete 15 checkpoints the team with the fastest race time wins.

Navigation: Because the course is not marked and determined by racers, some navigation is required to reach checkpoints. You do not need to be a map and compass expert to successfully complete the course. Most race checkpoints will be on or near trails.
