<P><STRONG>Two distances: partner sprint (3-5 hour) and half-day (6-hour)!</STRONG></P>
<H2> </H2>
<P>What’s this all about? “Trekking over the river bed, climbing over boulders, and being treated view to the awesome view at the top!”</P>
<H2><STRONG>Grab your partners and head out to collect checkpoints on a kayaking, mountain biking, and trekking challenge, condensing a month’s worth of adventure into a short expedition through California’s beautiful backcountry. See some beautiful country and make lifetime memories!</STRONG></H2>
<H2><SPAN>The Checkpoint Challenge partner sprint incorporates:</SPAN></H2>
<UL>
<LI>8-10 miles of mountain biking (60% single track, not technical, but if you’re used to sticking to fire roads, this will be challenging)</LI>
<LI>4 miles of technical trail running/scrambling/swimming (minimal swimming skills needed – if you can handle a pool, you’ll handle this)</LI>
<LI>2-3 miles of kayaking</LI>
<LI>This is a great way to get introduced to traditional adventure racing! You’ll experience the partner aspect while enjoying minimally marked courses that require you to follow your map.</LI>
</UL>
<P><STRONG>Doing the half day?</STRONG> Double the trek and kayak distances, add orienteering and epic ropes! You will be on less marked course and need to  rely on a map and compass to complete the course.</P>

<P>The Checkpoint Challenge is designed to challenge the elite athlete but remain achievable for the novice off the couch participant. As with most things, the more prepared you are the better your experience will be. Before starting any training program consult a medical professional about potential risks involved.</P>
<P>We recommend biking, running and kayaking as ways to prepare for this race.</P>
<P>You do not need a support team for this race – it is designed to be self-supporting. Details will be sent out in our pre-race email sent a week before the event.</P>
<P>“So proud that our team worked so well together. I was worried my partner and I would argue, but I reminded him that when we race, NOTHING gets in the way of the finish line!”</P>

</UL>
<P>The worst injury we have had in our 9 years was heat stroke and we had an IV in him in 10 minutes en route to the local ER in 20 minutes.</P>
<P>All of our transition areas and course marshals have VHF radios that use a repeater so we have communications throughout the entire course, as little to no cell phone reception is available in some of the areas we travel through.</P>
