:: Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge

A MUST DO RACE… The Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge is a traditional race that will test the mental, physical, and emotional limits of the elite and amateur adventure racer. The Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge courses are 90 to 100 miles in distance and of varying landscapes and will challenge racers in trail running/ trekking, navigation, paddling, mountain biking, possible climbing/rappelling (pending approval), and other race disciplines. The Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge is a classic. Come see for yourself!

The 2006 Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge race course is EMBARGOED effective November 21, 2005. This means that all race course venues, as listed below, are OFF LIMITS to all eventual competitors whether they are currently registered or not.

The embargo will be in effect through Thursday April 6, 2006. This embargo is being imposed in order to provide the most "level playing field" for all teams.

Many Rogaines and orienteering A-meets impose embargoes to promote fairness. Please respect the spirit of this rule. If you have any questions feel free to contact me (Greg) at: greg@planetadventurerace.com or (317) 462-6992.
