Intro to Adventure Racing Clinic

The purpose of this clinic series is to introduce people the sport of Adventure Racing.  The ideal participant is an athlete who loves the outdoors but may have never participated in an Adventure Race before and wants to learn the basics from the ground up. There will be experienced mentors at each event representing multiple Mid-Atlantic & Southeast racing organizations.  Each mentor is assigned to a team of clinic participants and will accompany them throughout this mock Adventure Race experience, sharing their AR expertise, answering questions and ensuring participant safety. 

Adventure Racing is a team multisport (Trekking, Biking, Paddling, Map & Compass Navigation) that travels through remote areas searching for checkpoints to increase their score within the time allotted.  In this clinic, participants will be introduced to the gear, strategy, training, navigation and teamwork necessary to complete and have fun while racing!
