REGISTRATION DEADLINE APPROACHING
Uwharrie Mountains, NC -
Adventure racers have just thirty-three days left to get
registered for the 2007 Gold Nugget Adventure Race. The October 6th
race itself is just under six weeks away. That's enough time to shake
the dog days of summer and get in some training so you'll be ready for
the hike-a-bike, portaging, and bushwhacking to be found in the
Uwharries. Course disciplines include mountain biking, canoeing,
orienteering, general navigation, and some special challenges.
Teams of two or four racers can choose from three course lengths:
the Treble Hook 4 hour course, the Crazy Eight 8 hour course, or the
Dirty Dozen 12 hour course. All courses feature a modified rogaine
format with a few mandatory checkpoints and the freedom to choose your
own route among the other checkpoints. Scoring is based on the value
of the checkpoints you find during the course time limits.
Racers will be provided with maps, checkpoint coordinates, a
wicking race shirt, a post-race meal, and free on-site camping before
and after the race. The top team in each division will receive a 50%
entry fee payback plus a 50% discount for a future race. All racers
will be entered into a prize drawing to be held after the race.
