Description
The Short Intro: The Test Your Nettle Adventure Challenge is an adventure race in which teams of 2-6 members will run and complete fun challenges around the rugged and beautiful green mountains of Vermont and Mt. Snow resort area. Participants will use only a map and compass to find their way for up to 3 hours! There will be secret hidden checkpoints to find, obstacles to overcome, and an incredible adventure waiting to be had! Are you up for the challenge?!
A Slightly Longer Intro: At GMARA, we try to design our races so new teams can participate, have fun, and make it to dinner. To be honest though, we realize our longer events can be intimidating. Most GMARA events are 10+ hours of competitive endurance racing, including trekking, biking, paddling, swimming, rock climbing, skiing and snowshoeing. It can be hard to know whether you’re up for a challenge like that!
That’s why we launched the Test Your Nettle Adventure Challenge in 2017 – a shorter event that’ll give you a chance to test yourself, your navigation skills, and your team dynamics before you decide to get lost in the woods for a full day. This is a great event for new racers, friends and family, younger kids, and anyone who wants to experiment and see what this sport is all about. If you’re a regular, this is the perfect opportunity to bring someone new and help them get their feet wet.
