Registration for the April 24th Gleneagles Challenge is Open!
Bushwhack Adventures (http://www.gobushwhack.com/) is bringing a new sprint adventure race to the Triangle, NC area in 2010 - the Gleneagles Challenge! The GEC will be designed to introduce new adventure racers to this exciting, can't-get-enough-of-it sport while also giving experienced racers the chance to sharpen their skills. Teams will be mountain biking, trekking, and paddling for 4 to 6 hours as they navigate their way to checkpoint flags. The course format will be modified rogaine, with teams being given lots of freedom to choose the route they follow to find the checkpoints. Scoring will be based on the accumulated point values of the checkpoints found. Expect some of the traditional Bushwhack perks like a technical race shirt, post-race meal, quality mytopo race maps, and more!
It's no secret that the location will be Harris Lake County Park, the same start location from the 24/12 hour Bushwhack Adventure Race last fall. And Bushwhack Adventures with Frog Hollow Outfitters are providing 20 canoes on a first-registered, first-served basis.
Registration will be handled through the Checkpoint Tracker website: http://www.checkpointtracker.com/ and more race details can be found at the race webpage: http://gec10.blogspot.com/
