Race Overview:

Team Backpacker Adventure Racing is at it again! Come out and join us for the fourth annual Backpacker Bushwhacker Adventure Race. The course is designed for solo competitors or teams of two, three, or four members and features trail running, a professional ropes course, mountain biking, paddling, and some pretty basic orienteering. Of course, we will throw in a few unexpected challenges along the way. If you competed in any of our first three events, you probably think that you know what to expect. Well, you don’t. This is an all new course in an all new venue for 2013 and it’s made up of all the things we love – and hate – about adventure racing.

 

Watch this website for additional information. We will be updating this page periodically.

Course Design:

The course will include 5-9 miles of running, 11-18 miles of mountain biking, 5-8 miles of paddling, zip lines & a ropes course, and some other really cool special tests along the way.
