Details

We are looking to crown the best overall solo adventure racer in the US, good at navigation, thinking for themselves, and speed. The event will also help racers master these skills to be a better teammate in future races. The main race will be a 20-hour all-out "Limited Rogaine" battle to locate as many CPs as you can and get to the finish line before the hard cut-off of 20 hours. If you don't make it to the finish by 2pm on Saturday you are DNF. The top 10 male and top 10 female finishers along with the top 5 male and female masters (45 and over) will have one hour to prepare for the shoot out at 3pm.

​

The 20-hour race will start with racers being bused to a secret location, so as to prevent scouting the areas before the race. Since the race is all solo racers we will need to separate each solo to prevent teaming up to help each other win. At the start, each soloist will draw a random opening trek section. 3 different trekking sections were designed at the start of the race to force each soloist to head in different directions. Each soloist will be required to complete all three (A, B, and C) trek maps and all three punches for each section. Think of this as one normal trek section with (9 controls), however, split up into three smaller treks with 3 controls in each trek. Each trekking section during the race will follow this same format as each soloist comes to a trek, they will be forced to start a different course. Example: The first-place solo comes in from Trek Section "B", they will be given the Trek Section "A" map and punch to head out and complete that section. The second-place solo coming in will be forced to complete Trek Section "B" and then the third-place solo will be given Map "C" and so on. The course design may have the same format during the paddle sections as well. This randomness will ensure that the race remains SOLO.

​

Live results will be tracking the top-10 racers throughout the 20-hour race and at the finish using e-punches.

3-Hour Shootout

The Top-10 Overall Male and Female solos will receive new maps and instructions for the "100% Rogaine" Shootout at 2:30pm sharp just after the 20-hour race finishes at 2pm. Everything starts over fresh! They will have 30 minutes to review and prepare to start again as the Shootout will start at 3pm. Equal start for all Shootout racers with your choice on what CPs to get first, in any order for each discipline. The winner of the Shootout will be crowned the Solo National Champion. Masters will remain in their division and are not eligible for the grand prize, so choose wisely.

​

We will begin live coverage of the Shootout with highlights from the 20-hour race and commentary from two of the most experienced adventure racers in the world.  We are also hiring the largest live-media crew to cover the championships with over 3 live-feed cameras, 4 embedded videographers, 3 photographers, and 2 drone operators. Family and friends will be able to watch live, and after it's all over we will produce amazing race videos telling the stories within the championships.

​

The 20-hour race check-in will start at 3:00pm with information, rules of travel, bibs and race numbers. Maps will only be handed out minutes before the race starts at the secret start location.
