10-Hour Race

The 10-hour race is a more challenging race, however, set up for a beginner team looking to just "jump right in" their first race. Distances are always based on your team's abilities and speed in adventure racing, however, you can expect between 30–35 miles of mountain biking, 6–10 miles of trekking with 6–9 miles of canoeing. Check-in starts at 6:00am with instructions and pre-plotted map followed a pre-race meeting at 7:30am and start time of 8:00am sharp. All teammates must be present to check-in and receive instructions. The later you are the shorter the time to prepare.

​

A staging area will be set-up at check-in for bikes, bins, and paddling gear. For the 10-hour race, we will be transporting your paddle gear and bikes. We supply canoes, paddles, and PFDs for both the whitewater and canoeing sections. Teams will be allowed to bring their own paddle gear, however, they must be in a paddle bag. All maps are waterproof and pre-plotted. No UTM required.

​

There will be a bearing course added to this year's race so your team will need to have a basic understanding of how to shoot a bearing and count steps.

​

Water and snacks will be provided at every TA.
