Racing Ahead: New England Adventure Racing
3 Hour Adventure Race changed to Adventure Stage Challenge
September 11 & 12, 2010 at Pawtuckaway State Park, Nottingham, NH
Changed Format!
We have changed the race weekend to join with our club UP NORTH ORIENTEERS and will host an ADVENTURE STAGE CHALLENGE for that weekend. The cost will be just $24 per team and will consist of similar courses as the 3 hour Adventure Race but in a stage format. Teams can complete the 3 stages of canoeing, mountain biking and trekking on Saturday or spread it out to Sunday as well. There will be announced winners but no prizes or t-shirts. There will be a Saturday evening dinner available as well as other weekend activities including night navigation! We are so very sorry to have to change the race format but the care of Steve's mother Phyllis has been more than we could have anticipated.
The Basics:
Time: Start one of three courses in any order anytime between Saturday 9am - 1pm and Sunday 9am - 12pm
Price: $24 (for set of 3 maps, extra maps $2)
Distance: Paddle leg has a one hour limit, Trek 2.5 - 3 miles, MTB 7-8 miles
Location: 31 Mountain Rd., off Rte 156, Nottingham, NH 03290 (We'll be meeting at the group pavilion Parking lot)

The Nitty Gritty: ---
The new STAGE format: Your team will choose which stage you want to do first, second or third. The paddle and mountain biking courses will remain the same for both Saturday and Sunday. The running leg will have different courses Saturday and Sunday so we would like all Adventure Stage Challenge racers to do at least the run/trek leg on Saturday so that everyone is on the same courses for all three stages.
See Weekend Flier (left) You may do all three legs on just Saturday. At the very least you must do the run leg on Saturday. Sunday is open to paddling and mountain biking legs but the run course will be different, so Sunday's run course will not qualify for the Adventure Challenge.
Teams: 2 person teams, either coed or single gender.
Cost: $24 per team (at the event, bring cash or check, no credit cards). This includes 3 maps (one each of mtb, paddle, trek) There will be other events going on that you might like to try so bring a little extra cash or an additional check.
Disciplines: Mountain biking, running/hiking, paddling, navigation (Not necessarily in that order)
Maps: All checkpoints are pre-plotted. We will provide both orienteering and topo maps, as well as single sleeve map cases.
Awards / Prizes: None
Bring: mountain bikes/helmets, running shoes/clothes, canoe (if you don't want to wait to borrow)/kayak paddles, hydration pack. Canoes have life jackets and canoe paddles.
Lodging: Email us to reserve a site in our group area (see flier for more info). Or camp in the general camping area at Pawtuckaway
Dinner: $6 per adult for burgers and dogs (bring side to share with all - last name: A-L bring salad, M - Z bring appetizer) There is always great food at this dinner! Unfortunately no beer sponsor this year, you'll have to BYOB (beer or beverages).
Registration: Please register to let us know if you're thinking of coming so that we know about how many maps to print. If you're unsure, Register anyway! You can always change your mind later! We'd rather have too many than not enough maps!
More info: There are many activities going on during the weekend that your team and family might like to try. Open to all! Canoeing, Mountain biking, night navigation, regular foot orienteering from string-o (for tots to teens) to the wicked hard night-o for experts. Check out the UP NORTH ORIENTEERS page as well as the weekend info page.
