USARA sanctioned race where teams can earn points for national points series rankings.

This race has something for everyone, from newcomers interested in trying the sport, and more competitive adventure racers who are looking for some fun and challenging off trail navigation! If you’re into trail running, hiking, geocaching, treasure hunting, or have seen Eco Challenge Fiji on Amazon, this race and the sport of adventure racing are for you! A portion of proceeds from the race will go to support Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust, a local organization specializing in land conservation. There will be one opportunity to drop and access a gear bag during the race. Mountain bikes are highly recommended and racers will be required to carry mandatory individual and team gear during the race (to be announced). A limited number of rental boats are available to reserve. Approximate distances will be 20-25 miles of mountain biking on a combination of roads, and trails (5+ miles of trails), 5-10 miles of trekking with lots of off trail navigation, and 3-6 miles of paddling (racers are required to bring their own solo or tandem canoe/kayak, see more details below). Teams sizes can range from 1 to 4 people. All checkpoints are optional and your team can tackle as much or as little of the course as you’re up for. If teams don’t make it back before the time cut-off, they will lose 1 checkpoint for every minute they’re late. If more than one team finds all of the checkpoints, the fastest time wins. The team that finds the most checkpoints within the 8-hour time limit wins. For the race, you will receive a set of topographic maps with pre-plotted checkpoints that you will use to navigate the course with only the maps and compass, while trekking/running, mountain biking, & paddling. The race is located in Central New York, on the southern end of the Tug Hill Plateau. Tug Hill Outfitters is hosting an 8-hour adventure race on Saturday Jin Williamstown, NY.
