Jeep Adventure Race Series

I found another thing that could be a fun, competitive, cross-training event over the summer, particularly for those of you in Charlotte.

It is an "adventure race" which is approximately a 4-hour race including mountain biking, trek/running, orienteering, climbing and paddling and it takes place on July 19th at the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte.

Here are some details:
"Grab a friend and explore all 307 acres of the US National Whitewater Center and the rugged corners of the Charlotte metro. Teams of 1-4 will mountain bike, trek/run, orienteer, climb and paddle. Each event is designed for you to succeed and all you need are sneakers, a bike and a smile. Come meet people and have fun!

Jeep ARS #3 activities include whitewater rafting, flatwater canoeing, mountain biking, orienteering and special challenges.

4hr: $60 per person
7hr: $70 per person

Entry cap: 300. Pre-registration required. For more information on adventure racing or to sign up for the race, visit http://www.action-learning.com/adventure"

All of the info can be found on the US National Whitewater Center website at http://www.usnwc.org/component/option,com_jcalpro/Itemid,125/extmode,view/extid,117/

Let me know if you are interested and we can possibly add you to our team, or you can create your own.

Also, you have less than a month to register for the Miles Into Smiles Triathlon, the really short sprint tri that I mentioned before. details are at www.milesintosmiles.com.
