Has anyone ever heard of it? We went to a free clinic last night and checked it out. I think it might be kind of fun to do, and definitely a workout. I have no delusions of becoming a ranked team, but I think it might be fun to enter and try to complete a race or two. They have small races around Michigan ranging from a few hours to a few days.
Basically it combines 2 or more athletic/outdoor disciplines. Biking, paddling, trekking, climbing, orienteering, etc.
Here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_racing
The team that put on the clinic last night is competing in the eco-challenge, which is a 600 mile event starting in rapid city, sd, and going through the badlands, etc.
I wouldn't mind picking out a small local event and training for it.
