It's a very exciting weekend in adventure racing this weekend! The
Checkpoint Zero Adventure Race is taking place in Helen, GA, Gravity Play is
hosting the Moab Adventure Xstream Adventure Race, racers are starting to
arrive at the Baja Travesia and Bonk Hard Racing is hosting the Sunflower
24-Hour in Lawrence, KS. When it's all said and done, close to a 1000
adventure racers from all over will be participating in these races!

The Sunflower 24-Hour, hosted by Bonk Hard Racing, LLC, is being held in
Lawrence, Kansas on Saturday and Sunday. Over 120 racers from 14 different
states across the U.S. are set and making their way to Lawrence on Friday,
March 23rd to take on the 90 mile course. While the students at Kansas
University, based in Lawrence, are invading sun-filled beaches on Spring
Break, these racers are invading the rain-soaked town that hosts the Sweet
16 KU Jayhawks.

Racers are coming to Lawrence expecting a great race course, and that is
exactly what Bonk Hard Racing plans to give them. Ninety miles worth of
river paddling, lake paddling, single track mountain biking, urban and
backwoods orienteering, rappelling (it's not easy finding a rappel in Kansas
:), a 275-foot Tyrolean Traverse, plenty of mud and much more. Bonk Hard
Racing is very excited about this race course and the competition that is
coming into this race. High powered teams from across the Midwest and beyond
are coming to claim the cash payout and over $2500 prize purse, as well as
qualify for the USARA Adventure Racing National Championships.

The Sunflower 24-Hour is also a part of the Checkpoint Tracker National
Point Series, in which teams from across the U.S. are competing against each
other at 11 different 24-Hour (or more) races throughout the year, including
two expedition races. To find out more about the Checkpoint Tracker National
Point Series, please visit:
