Event Description
- ARE YOU READY FOR A NEW CHALLENGE????
- There will be navigation, trekking (running or hiking), mountain biking. There may also be surprise challenges for ALL courses. The team that completes all the checkpoints (or more than other teams) with the fastest time will win the race.
- There will be several checkpoints that are mandatory (transition areas), but most are not.
A team could choose to skip checkpoints and shorten the course and still have an official finish,
though probably not place in the top 10.
Both courses you will have access ONLY to the gear, food and drink that you have on your bike or in your pack.
Checkpoints for the Break UP Course will be on Topographic maps. The maps are pre-plotted topographic maps from mytopo.com. Your team will need a basic understanding of terrain features and distance measure. There will be very few rules of travel, teams will choose their own route/strategy (with mode of travel specified for checkpoints).
