Ramona Family Adventure Race

Changes in red made 4/3/25 for those who missed the racer update email on 4/1/25.

Registration closes 4/5/25 at noon!

The next San Diego Adventure Racing event is a suuuuuper beginner-friendly Adventure Race for newbies and families that involves both hiking and biking (mountain bikes or gravel bikes).  Navigation will be with the maps provided at the start line, but still no GPS allowed.  Compasses encouraged.  Two courses will be available:

1. 10 and Under (with parental assist) - geocache style (1-2 hour)
2. Family / Adults - punched passport style (2-4 hour)

The start line location will be at Ramona Oaks Park, in Ramona, CA.  Please register EACH person coming so that we have enough maps and water.

Timeline

Saturday, Ramona Oaks Park:

• 8:00am: drop off bikes at staffed Transition Area near corner of Ramona Oaks Rd and Cope Rd
• 8:30am: navigation clinic

• sometime in the middle: BBQ food starts cooking

GEAR

1. BYOB (Bring Your Own Bike), and a bike lock if you think you'll go for a bonus checkpoint
2. Food and water - 0.5L per person per hour, minimum, and snaaaacks, especially for the kiddos (snacks will also be available at Start/Finish)
3. Compass, of any type really - at least to help with coarse direction and not end up too disoriented.

COURSE ESTIMATES

 Remember that a majority of the miles are on bike, not on foot:

• Geocache style course: 1-3 miles
• Punch style course: 10-25 miles

All checkpoints are optional.
