Race format and logistics
Both races are multi-discipline adventure races held inside Carlton Reserve. Disciplines include trekking or trail running, mountain biking and kayaking. Teams may be Solo, Two Person, Three Person or Four Person. Distances and target average speeds are:
- 24-40 miles (4 to 5 miles per hour average)
- 16-20 miles (4 to 5 miles per hour average)
Navigation uses pre-plotted CalTopo maps to find checkpoints placed using natural features (trail intersections, streams, bays, coves). Courses include single-track mountain bike trails, dirt or gravel roads, some paved roads and flat-water kayaking. Boats, PFDs and paddles are included with registration on a first-come, first-served basis; teams are encouraged to bring their own boats and may receive a future-race discount for providing a boat. The organizer will not secure or transport paddle equipment or boats before, during or after the race. Check-in occurs on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
