OK ladies - we had quite the solo male contingency at the 2007 EFIX.
I'd LOVE to see some solo women in the mix. Feel free to contact me
any time if I can be of help to get you there in 2008 (see below). In
the very least I know I can give you 10% off right off the bat.

All my best,
Susanna

Lookout, WV: Slated for early 2008, 50 teams of 2 and 4 persons, along
with soloists, will take to the mountains of West Virginia for the
17th Edition of the Odyssey Endorphin FIX Adventure Race, widely
touted as the "Toughest 2-day race in the US." The EFIX will expand to
a 3-day expedition style race to fulfill the constant requests from
racers across the country to have an epic and challenging expedition
race that requires a lower financial and time commitment than that of
a full 7-day, or more, event.

The Endorphin Fix will also provide an opportunity for Eco-Primal
Quest teams to "test" their physical abilities, as well as fine-tune
race strategy and team dynamics well before it's all on the line - the
starting line of Primal Quest that is! An additional bonus of
extending the Endorphin Fix to a three-day race is that it will serve
as a qualifier to Eco-Primal Quest. Don Mann, former owner of Odyssey
and current CEO of Eco-Primal Quest, and Ronny Angell, Owner and
President of Odyssey, are at work finalizing the details.

"The EFIX is already known throughout the country as one TOUGH event,
so expanding it will give racers with less time and money the chance
to get a taste of what an expedition event is all about," states Ronny
Angell.

The epic event will once again be designed by Joy Marr, Co-Founder of
Odyssey and long time Course Designer and Logistics Manager for most
of Odyssey's events. Marr has now designed and managed over 150
multi-day, multi-sport events, including Expedition BVI, Beast of the
East, USARA Championships, Odyssey Adventure Leadership Trainings and
the well respected Odyssey Adventure Racing Academy.

Marr states jokingly, "You know what adding one more day means,
right?-more epic sections of mountain biking, trekking, multiple
segments of fixed ropes, challenging orienteering, and some great
water segments-whitewater, flat-water, paddling and swimming-and, of
course, the signature OAR trait: monumental elevation gain and loss!"

Angell adds, "The rich history of this Odyssey classic ensures that
the event will be a racer's race: low on glitz and high on epic;
giving racers an intense physical, emotional and mental challenge.
While the exact location of the race must remain a secret until winter
2007, racers can expect to see the best and biggest West Virginia has
to offer."

Interested non-racers with a passion for adventure can be a part of
this great event by registering to volunteer. Stay tuned for more
details as the season progresses and go to www.OARevents.com for more
