About the Race
The Father’s Day Adventure Race will take place on Sunday, June 17, 2018 at Little Big Econ State Forest
We will have races in 4 categories; Family, Challenge, Sport, and Elite.
The Family 1-Hour race… expect to have some fun team challenges mixed in with the biking (along a great trail system), paddling (approximately 1 mile), and trekking (about 2 miles). Along with some team building one-minute challenges. This event is GPS legal.
The 3-Hour Challenge … expect a slightly longer course than the Family course, also including some fun challenges along the way. This event is GPS legal.
The Family and 3 Hour Challenge are both GPS legal. We understand that not everyone is comfortable with the navigation involved in an adventure race, so FLX will allow GPS units or phones to be used in these two events. These two events are designed to involve those that enjoy being outdoors with minimal navigation required (will mostly be on trails). Our hope is that combining the GPS with the regular maps will make teams more comfortable with navigation and they will move up to the regular, non-GPS, races later on.
The Sport 3-Hour race… expect a slightly longer course than the Family course, also including some fun challenges along the way.
For less experienced teams we will be having what we call an “Adventure Racing 101” class at 9AM. This will include some map readying instructions (along with compass reading help if you want it). We will also go over some canoe paddling instructions and any bike questions you may have.
The Elite 6-Hour race… be prepared to do each of the disciplines (paddle, bike, and trek) for about 2 hours each. We will also include some challenges in the transition areas as well as along the route. This is an elite level course so plan on some tough paddling (not all downstream) and some difficult to find checkpoints along with outstanding single-track biking.
Race for Free
This year we are again allowing teams members that race in the the Elite or Sport race to then join in and also participate in the Family race, for FREE. The Elite and Sport races both end at 1:00PM, so we want to encourage team members to then join their kids or other family members in a Family team and do that race as well, which starts at 2:00PM. If you are going to take advantage of this offer, please register first for the Elite or Sport race, then register your Family team. The fee for the Family race registration will be automatically adjusted during the registration process.
[Disciplines involved: Trekking, Biking, Paddling, Navigation, Orienteering]
