WINNING FIX TEAM GOES TO PRIMAL QUEST MONTANA!
Odyssey Adventure Racing and Primal Quest continue a tradition of
excellence and shared passion as a formal partnership is announced…
Odyssey is proud to join Primal Quest Montana as a Gold Partner,
guaranteeing a slot in Montana for the winning team of the Endorphin
Fix 3 Day Adventure Race this upcoming April in West Virginia, U.S.A.
In April of 2007, PQ Montana course director, Chris Caul, completed
the Odyssey E-FIX 2 Day AR as a soloist on a single speed mountain
bike – no small feat. "The course Joy designed last season was the
most challenging, most rewarding, and most beautiful AR course I've
raced yet. I can't imagine a better event in the eastern U.S. with
which to test one's mettle and shear fortitude."
"The FIX has continued to grow its reputation as the toughest 2 day AR
in the U.S. since the sale of Odyssey to Ronny Angell. The addition of
a 3rd day in beautiful WV terrain ensures that the FIX will prove to
be the perfect training ground for teams headed to expedition length
ARs like PQ," said Don Mann, co-founder of OAR and director of PQ08.
"We are thrilled to have Odyssey AR join the Primal Quest family as a
gold partner. Ronny, Joy, and the rest of the Odyssey family have
continued the standard of excellence that was set forth in the birth
of the company 10 years ago."
As co-founder of OAR and course designer, Joy Marr's ability to raise
the bar each season while maintaining the achievability of the course
exemplifies her reputation as one of the best AR course designers in
the country, as well as a respected veteran of the AR community. When
asked how she's approached the design of this 17th edition of the FIX,
Joy shared, "We seek to find the very best and most memorable aspects
of an area and to showcase each of these within the course. It must
fall within the racer's expectations of the word `adventure'."
Over the 200+ mile course, racers will become intimately acquainted
with the rugged, yet scenic terrain of West Virginia. Supported
soloists and teams will whitewater raft and swim in class II and III
rapids, rappel and ascend towering rock walls, orienteer though lush
forest vegetation, and mountain bike and trek their way through what
promises to be an epically rewarding adventure race experience.
