Bonk Hard Racers

What is adventure racing? In our own words, adventure racing is a team-based multisport event where teams travel through unknown terrain collecting a series of checkpoints (CPs) along the way. Teams use only a map and compass to guide them through the course, and must remain together for the duration of the race. Core disciplines include trekking, cross-county running, orienteering, mountain biking, navigation, and paddling. Read more about adventure racing on Wikipedia
