Race BOTH Saturday & Sunday and get 2nd race 50% off!
Make a team or go solo and have a blast during our new Summer Sizzle Adventure Race Weekend with two races (one Saturday, another Sunday) in and around beautiful Lake Anna State Park. If you love being outdoors: paddling, hiking and/or biking trails, getting off the sidewalks, then this is the event for you. Navigate the park just as school is out and Summer begins with two beginner friendly 5-hour races with some more advanced checkpoints thrown in for our veteran racers.
So whether you are an adventure racing newcomer or looking for a full day of outdoor adventure we've got you covered, either way you finish on a beautiful beachside.
New to adventure racing? What is an adventure race? Simply put, Adventure Racing (AR) is an outdoor scavenger hunt / orienteering (navigating with a map and compass) but via multiple modes of travel: on-foot, biking & paddling. Unlike your average 10K/5K, marathon or obstacle course race where there is a strict roped off race course to follow; with orienteering/AR you are given a map with marked checkpoints (CPs), and its up to you/your team to navigate and find as many CPs as you can within the time limit. The best teams work together and help each other to not only go fast, but also efficiently; acquiring the most checkpoints wins (fastest time as tie-breaker).
• These are both USARA-sanctioned events (both races score USARA national ranking points).
• Both Races will score points for the Virginia State Parks Adventure Series
