Adventure Racing
Adventure
racing is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. It involves
many disciplines such as biking, running/trekking, canoeing, orienteering
and mystery events. But what really makes this such a unique sport is
that you compete as a team, not as an individual, and you do not have
to be the best or fastest to be successful. These races test your will
and endurance and success is achieved by crossing the finish line.
