What do rollercoasters, a great rappel, fantastic scenery, a first class event and “10-24-1″ have in common?
“10 days, 2 races, 1 big party” is our motto, and what a party it’s shaping up to be!
Hosted at beautiful Farragut State Park in Bayview, Idaho (just north of Coeur d Alene), ASW 2010 is promising to be one of the top festivals in the USA this year.
Adventure Racing:
Featured in a full-episode documentary by Outdoor Idaho, The Crux and the Crucible, acclaimed as one of the most enjoyable and fun adventure races in 2009 is back with even more exciting challenges, including a great rappel, world-class single track, and even a rollercoaster will greet the racers over 3 days of amazing racing, June 11- 13.
This year, racers can choose to compete in one, two, or even three stages over three days:
The Midnight Ramble will begin at 6:00 pm on friday evening, and will take the racers over the mountains and lakes of north Idaho into the wee hours.
The Crux will start Saturday morning, and will be one of the most memorable days of racing ever… rappelling, rollercoasters and a couple of mountain to negotiate along the way.
Saturday evening, we will have our famous “June Moon” party before the racers hit the trails bright and early Sunday morning for the amazing Crucible, with a breathtaking kayak, awesome trekking and a challenging orienteering leg.
We will also feature a super fun “Sprint” adventure race – the new “C&C Adventure Challenge,” which will be a shorter, frenetic event for racers of every ability.
The Crux and the Crucible is a USARA National qualifier, and racers can earn points for the Checkpoint Tracker Adventure Series.
Adventure races are only the begining for ASW 2010:
