ADVENTURE RACING 
 
Our Team’s core athletic discipline is Adventure racing. Building upon several top finishes in sprint to expedition races in 2005/6/7, our goal is to continue to compete at a high level at races throughout Pacific Northwest and beyond.
 
Adventure racing is a team oriented, multi-discipline, athletic venture ranging from six hours to ten days. The core components in an adventure race are mountain biking, paddling, and trekking, although a variety of other components are often included, such as fixed rope, horseback riding, mountaineering, scuba diving and inline skating. Anger, frustration, joy, exhilaration, good and bad are all shared among teammates throughout the course of an adventure race. The relational dynamic is compressed in a short period of time, the length of an adventure race, and is further propelled by exhaustion, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and hunger.
 
Adventure racing is one of the fastest growing sports in America. The number of races, online communities, media exposure, and participants grows exponentially each year.
 
 
Team members also participate in ultrarunning, endurance cycling, mountaineering, endurance kayaking, and orienteering events.
