Adventure Racing
What is Adventure
Racing?
Adventure Racing offers an easy crossover for cyclist,
runners and water sport enthusiasts just to mention a few. Adventure races can
vary anywhere from 2-5 person teams, with some events now offering solo
categories. The disciplines can also vary from race to race. Adventure racing
can include shredding through tight single track on a mountain bike or
orienteering and hiking through a dense forest. Adventure racers may find
themselves ripping down rapids in a canoe and then rappelling off a 100 foot
rock face. The races can last a few hours or several days and can cover 10 - 100
miles or more!

I don't know if you've seen this, but here's a Varsity resource: http://www.varsityscouter.org/
I have. It is unfortunate that it seems sort of dormant at times. Are the Districts in SLC having Huddle each month?
