COMPETITION FORMAT:

Adventure Racing is like an off-road triathlon with paddling instead of swimming. The biggest

difference is that races can be done solo or as a team (the sport’s officially recognized elite division

of adventure racing is 3-4 person Co-Ed teams), AND that the race involves strategy, navigation and

possible surprise challenges (like the Amazing Race). Racers can expect to mountain bike trails,

canoe, run or trek (walk) to about 15 checkpoints using team strategy to complete all of most of them

before the race clock stops. All teams will start and finish the race together (not a relay). All teams

must have at least one adult (18 and over), not recommended for children under 12 yrs old (contact

commissioner).

THE COURSE:

The course will remain a secret until racer check-in, when all teams will receive their maps and

checkpoint sheet with information. Milford State Park is bordered on three sides by the largest lake

in Kansas, Milford Lake and the scenery and trails are beautiful. The park is a combination of

dense forests, crops, open meadows, ravines, immense shorelines and overall amazing Flint Hills

terrain. Mountain biking will have possibilities of technical single track trail riding, cross country and

paved roads. Paddling will be in coves or creeks and not on the main lake. The course may also

include areas adjacent to Milford State Park. Lake Adventures has been organizing adventure races

for 4 years and events are known for challenge, terrain, organization and structure that allows teams

to complete the whole course if they are willing to really push their limits. Teams should come

prepared to complete the following disciplines (as a team):

Paddling 2-3 miles; Mountain Biking

10-15 miles; Trail Running or Trekking 4-6 miles.
