Sprint and
Mid-distance Races in the Performance Adventure Racing Series |
NEXT
RACE DATE in the AR Series at Bayard Conservation
Area
will soon be
announced...
|
Brief
Race Outline: There will be a SuperSprint Race of about 2-2.5 hours (3-hour limit) and a
6-hour Mid-Distance Race. In the SuperSprint Race, about half the race is
on foot and about half on your bike. In the longer Mid-Distance Race, time
is divided almost equally between biking, paddling, and trekking. Start for both is at 9:00AM. In order to
participate, Teams must pre-register before the
race. These races are for two-person teams
and solo competitors. |
| Please
See AR Series UPDATES
PAGE for details.
|
The
BEAR Adventure Race will have both 10-hour
limit & 5-hour limit races.

Join us for some adventure...
If you and your teammates have not already
registered for the next Performance Adventure Racing event, we want to invite you to
this race. The 3-Hour Super-Sprint Race format is a challenging and do-able adventure
race and does not require teams to bring their own boats. The
Performance Adventure Racing Sprint Series events start at 9:00AM and will take
most teams from 2 to 2.5 hours to finish. The races have a 3-hour
cut-off for completion, so that awards can begin not later than 12:30am. The
Performance Adventure Racing Series 6-hour Mid-Distance events also start at
9:00AM and will take
most teams from 4.5 to 5.5 hours to finish. The races have an 6-hour
cut-off for completion, so that awards can begin not later than 3:30pm. We have designed
each race course that you
will find exciting and demanding -- and fun. The disciplines of the Performance
Adventure Racing Sprint Series include off-road biking, paddling in canoes or
kayaks (not in the 3-hr Super-Sprint), non-technical climbing and ropes challenges, navigating with a
compass, running/trekking, and some interesting mystery events.

The AR Series UPDATES web page
provides any changes and answers frequently asked questions. As you probably understand, specific details of the race
components are a mystery until the day of the race, but we are happy to
answer your questions that do not ask us to "give away" specific
secrets about the event. Many of these answers are finding their way to
the Performance AR Series Updates page. As with many other adventure races, the course,
order, and challenges change from year to year for The Performance AR
Sprint Series races. Look
over all the online pages for The Performance AR Sprint Series races, so that you can get a
good idea of what is in store for participants. Make special note of the AR
Series Updates page. Then register
by mail or online -- and come
to join us for some great adventures. Scroll
down to find links for Adventure Race Series rules, equipment, maps and
other info.
