Cool Adventure Race!

So, check out the Untamed New England Adventure Race

Bad news first, it's roughly $400 per person.

Plus everyone needs equipment, the most expensive of which would likely be mountain bikes, but there's tons of other stuff we probably need too.

The highlights though:

The course is roughly 60 hours with

  • Mountain Biking (100+ miles)
  • Ropes (1-2 courses including rappelling, ascending, and traverses)
  • Trekking (40+ miles)
  • Paddling (30+ miles)
  • Orienteering (throughout the race, including specific orienteering courses)
It's in New Hampshire, which isn't too far away, and it's in June.
