Hi Adventure Racers!
The 2012 Gleneagles Challenge is just three weeks away. Have you registered your team yet? Its not too late!
The main event on April 28th will be the 6 hour Adventure Race. It's the same great park but we've found new places to hang the controls to give you another exciting day of mountain biking, trekking, and paddling!
In addition to the AR course, we're also hosting a duathlon course that morning. The duathlon course is 4.5 miles of trail running followed by 6.0 miles of mountain biking. It can be done solo or as a relay.
If you're up for the full challenge, we've set the schedule so you can do both the duathlon and the AR courses. Plus we'll give you a discount on the duathlon entry if you're doing both.
If you're not ready to do both events, that's ok. But please invite any of your friends who aren't ready for the AR to come out and give the duathlon course a try.
More information and registration links can be found online at:
