Virtual adventure challenge

Five-hour Virtual adventure challenge

This five-hour challenge is a multi-discipline virtual adventure race to encourage athletes of all ability levels to get out and explore the outdoors in their local community. The Virtual Adventure Challenge is designed for racers anywhere in the world to participate!

Participants complete five hours of activity in three stages over a two-day (48-hour) window:

Stage 1: Run/hike - 1.5 hours - must visit one hilltop or high point, one water feature, and include one substantial bushwhack
Stage 2: Road and/or trail bike ride - 2 hours - must visit one hilltop or high point, one bridge, and one point of interest
Stage 3: Non-bike/run discipline - 1.5 hours - this can be any active activity you can think of! Prize to the most creative discipline!

More details will be emailed to you upon registration. You may break up each stage (i.e. two 1-hour bike rides is permitted).

The challenge must be completed by June 30, 2020. This is virtual challenge, NOT an official race and you do so at your own risk. Please plan to complete this challenge by yourself or with members of your household.

Your 48-hour window can start anytime, so REGISTER NOW to get the details so you can start planning your adventure!
