Tug Hill Extreme Adventure 24 Hour
Osceola Ski and Sport Resort 1573 Osceola Rd, Camden 13316, USA
24 Hour Adventure Race
The 24 hour race is an Adventure Racing World Series, North America (ARWS-NA) points race, and a United State Adventure Racing Association (USARA) sanctioned points race. During the race, each team will receive one set of topographic maps with pre-plotted checkpoints that you will use to navigate the course with map and compass only, while trekking/running, mountain biking, & paddling. The team that finds the most checkpoints within the 24 hour time limit wins. If teams don’t make it back before the time cut-off, they will lose 1 checkpoint for every minute they’re late. Teams sizes can range from of 1-4 people.
This year, the course will be a point-to-point style race with participants being bused to a secret start location. Teams will then have to make their way back to the finish at Osceola Ski and Sport Resort before time runs out. Even with the point-to-point course design, a majority of checkpoints will still be optional so teams can tackle as much or as little of the course as they see fit. Approximate distances for each section of the course are still being finalized. The total minimum distance will be achievable by all teams and the maximum distance to punch all optional checkpoints will push the top teams to race for the full 24 hours. Expect some seriously beautiful and remote locations, and epic off trail treks!
Mountain bikes are highly recommended as you will be traveling over some rough terrain and racers will be required to carry mandatory individual and team gear during the race (to be announced). There will be at least one opportunity to drop and access a gear bin during the race.
This race will have something for everyone, from teams looking to try their first longer distance, overnight adventure race; to teams hoping for more intense navigation challenges.
