2010 Information

Planet Amazing Adventure

The Amazing Adventures are our beginner and family friendly adventure races.

Teams consisting of two or three (ages 8 and up) will work together to travel through the course on foot, by bike or paddle power, conquering several fun mental and physical challenges along the way. Adding to the excitement, your team will navigate the course using street and orienteering maps.

Using the supplied maps and course instructions, you will move through the course encountering various Checkpoints (CP's) where you'll punch your "passport", find a clue or possibly complete a special challenge. Check out the Gear List for all the stuff you'll need to bring.
