Run the Wild ~ Adventure Run Sunday, October 4, 2009 Sandy McNabb Recreation Area, Turner Valley, Alberta
This new race, gives orienteering a different twist!
Welcome to adventure running. We take the sport of orienteering and integrate it with different map formats and test your navigation abilities in a variety of course types from standard point-to-point courses to visual trail orienteering to rougher Rogaine-style navigation. Teams of two (male, female and co-ed) will test their mettle on some of the most beautiful terrain Alberta has to offer. Come and join us on this awesome adventure.
This race will be 5-6 hours endurance run, so your fitness will be tested as well.
