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 &amp; 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).</p> <p>• These are both USARA-sanctioned events (both races score USARA national ranking points).</p> <p>• Both Races will score points for the Virginia State Parks Adventure Series</p> <p>2/3/4-Person Teams, Family Division &amp; Soloist Divisions</p> <p><u><b>Registration Covers/Includes</b></u>:</p> <ul><li>Kayak/Canoe (we provide boat, paddle and lifejacket &#34;PFD&#34;)</li><li>Race shirt <ul><li>must register before Apr. 1 to guarantee race shirt.</li></ul> </li><li>High quality topographic race map(s)</li><li>Race pictures / photographer</li><li>Post-Race Meal (actual food, not just snacks)</li><li>Custom Awards for top 3 in each division: <ul><li>Solo (Female &amp; Male)</li><li>2-Person Teams (Mixed, Female &amp; Male)</li><li>3-person Teams (Mixed, Female &amp; Male)</li><li>4-person Teams (Mixed, Female &amp; Male)</li><li>Family Division (4-hour race only)</li></ul> </li><li>Parking Fee, land use permits, insurance, rentals, etc.</li></ul>
