The Southern Michigan Adventure Club will be hosting the eighth annual Sprint Adventure in Southeast Michigan. The unique race format makes it suitable for the first time racers as well as the seasoned competitor. It will bring together the best aspects of the sport including several surprises to keep it fun, interesting and challenging.

If you've never done a SMAC race before come and see what makes our annual event so special and remember to expect the unexpected! As is tradition, there will be plenty of adventure, prizes, and post-race fun.

This year's race will take place in the environmentally unique Huron River basin. This area includes glacial topography that is unique to SE Michigan. The OCAD produced race maps were created from current GIS data and include all major trails and land features. Navigation instruction will be offered on Friday evening before the race briefing.

To keep the quality high and to minimize the impact to the environment we limit the field size so don't miss your opportunity to get in on one of the Midwest's best! SMAC members receive a registration discount. You can find out more about the event and register for the race online at www.smacworld.com
