NMARC Sprint Race#1 : Off Road |
Adventure Race : Trekking/Running/Mountain Biking/Canoeing/Paddling/Navigation |
NMARC first sprint race of the year is designed to introduce new adventure racers to this exciting sport with a 5 hour course. Don't let the length of the race intimidate you; adventure racing is a low intensity sport. If you can cross the finish line of a 10k then you are plenty fit to complete a sprint distance adventure race.
Teams will be mountain biking, trekking, and paddling as they navigate
with a map to find checkpoint locations. You will not need any advanced
navigation skills, just basic map reading ability. The course format
will be modified rogaine, which means teams have the freedom to choose
the route they follow to find the checkpoints and what order to go after
them. Also, there will be far more CP's than any team can possibly
acquire in the time allowed (i.e. nobody will be clearing the course).
This race format rewards strategy and route selection over speed and
endurance. Additionally, each CP will have a separate point value
depending on its distance from the start location (generally the farther
the distance the higher the point value). Scoring will be based on the
accumulated point values of the checkpoints found within the time
allowed. How your team chooses to put the pieces together will largely
determine its outcome as there is no single best route to accumulate the
most points.
The event will start and finish at Elliott's Bar & Grill in Corrales where we will be having a post-race buffet (included in race fee) and handing out lots of swag and t-shirts to all participants.
This event is limited to 50 racers and has sold out in the past so register early. Those that register prior to May 3rd will be guaranteed their shirt size.
