3^rd Annual Xstream Expedition Race less than a week away

Gravity Play Sports will again host the 3^rd Annual Xstream Expedition Race in the magnificent Moab, Utah area October 5-8^th.  The 3 day, 300 mile expedition race is the most affordable expedition race in the world at only $420 per person.  With 3 full days of new, nonstop adventures of mountain biking, kayaking, rappelling, and trekking in the magnificent canyons, deserts and 12,000 foot peaks in and around the Moab area, this is a can’t miss event. Teams will also be treated with the changing of fall colors in the Manti La Sal mountain range and a spectacular ropes course. This expedition race is fun, fast and affordable.

The concept is simple: teams leave the starting line and navigate through numerous mandatory passport check points to the finish line as quickly as they can. To be considered officially ranked, all team members must cross the finish line together.  Therefore, strategy, teamwork and decision making are as important as physical endurance.

The event will also be featuring the Checkpoint Tracker software so fans and family members at home can watch the race unfold and post shout outs to their favorite teams.  The online coverage of the course will also feature live video feeds from the course; audio blogs from teams during the race; team updates; photos from out on the course; in addition to high resolution satellite photos and fly over images of the race course.  Check out the race coverage LIVE at www.CheckPointTracker.com October 5-8^th.

Sponsors of the 2006 Xstream Expedition Race include:  JEEP, Moab Area Travel Council, Zorrel.com, AIRE, Hammer Nutrition, Checkpointzero.com, Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge, Inside Outside Magazine and DEAN Bikes.
