The Gear List has been updated, make sure you check it out!

We have added 2-Person Teams for this year's race.

The Planet Adventure Urban Sprint Adventure Race requires teams to trek, ride and paddle their way through up to 6 hours of challenging fun and teamwork. Teams will also encounter special challenges not common in many sprint races. This is a great race for both experienced and beginning racers.

Experienced racers can expect to finish the entire course well within the 6 hours allotted. The course is being designed so that most teams should be able to finish the entire course within 6 hours.

Race Divisions:

• UPDATED! 2 Person Teams have been added for this year's race, co-ed, all-male and all-female
• 3 person co-ed, all-male and all-female.
• NEW! Social Team Option. Join a team that will race as a large group split into individual teams to learn and have fun together along the course.

Pre-Race Check-In: Pre-race check-in will be at the race start on Saturday, August 7th at 6:30 am. All team members must be present to sign waivers, pick-up packet, etc…

Race Start Time: The 2010 Planet Adventure Urban Sprint Race will start at 8:00AM. Please be on time. Pre-race briefing will start at 7:30 AM. This is very IMPORTANT! Race course details will be given at this time, maps distributed, etc.

All racers need to start arriving to the start line, located just outside the outdoor seating area, at 7:50 AM for final race instructions.

Race cut-off: 2:00PM. We want as many teams to finish as possible. Be aware, as in the past, teams arriving after the 2:00 PM cut-off will be penalized by losing a checkpoint for each minute late.

Post-Race Food: Each racer will receive a $10 voucher toward food and beverage at the Rathskeller. This will allow teams to eat as they finish and enjoy the outdoor atmosphere of this classic Indianapolis downtown establishment.

Weather: Weather in August is hot. Temperatures in the 90’s aren’t unusual. While we expect you to have plenty of opportunities to cool yourself during the race (yes, there will be a possibility of getting wet) - most importantly you should hydrate regularly. We will have medical personal at the race; however you're ultimately responsible for yourself and your teammates. This is Adventure Racing (keyword ... Adventure), so for those that are new to the sport, you need to know and understand that it's very important that you plan accordingly with hydration and first aid needs until professional medical assistance or race staff can reach you. Since you will be racing in and around downtown Indy, there will be ample opportunities to find water sources.

Rules: There aren't many rules in adventure racing, but please take a few minutes to review our Urban Sprint Rules and Guidelines.

Gear List: Please be sure to read over the gear list and make sure you have what is required. We try to keep the gear requirements to a minimum for our 'Sprint' races, but again, make sure you have what is posted on our gear list.

Paddles and PFD's: We have paddles and PFD's for teams to rent if you don't have one. Please notify us if your team needs paddles. We recommend using your own, but again, we do have plenty to rent.

Volunteers: We can always use more volunteers for our races. Volunteering is a great way to get involved in Adventure Racing. Email us if you can help out.
