Overview and Expectations We’ve been adventure racing since 2001, and have participated in races run by several race directors. We’ve been watching international adventure racing well before 2001. In designing this race, we’re incorporating elements of other races we liked and adding some new elements. One of the elements we’re incorporating is the lack of a specified course. Each team will determine what route they take to get from point to point, with very few restrictions. Your objective will be to find each control or checkpoint (regardless of the route you take). If you’re not comfortable making race decisions as you go, you may not enjoy this race. We will tend to keep significant race details a secret until race day. In fact, it’s likely only two of us will have seen the course in advance. So, if the amount of information prior to race day seems limited, that’s probably intentional. Feel free to send us an email with any questions you have and if the answers aren’t a closely guarded secret, we’ll answer your question. Our adventure racing team’s priorities in order of importance are: - be safe
- have fun
- finish
- do well
You can expect the race to also follow those priorities. While having fun is not a mandatory part of the race, we’re going to give you ample opportunities to get in the pirate spirit and have fun. You can expect your race directors and volunteers to be having a good ole pirate time of it. We’re trying to design the race to be a balance between athleticism, adventure racing skills, decision making and problem solving. Highly athletic teams and experienced racers will still have an advantage. The race will be unsupported and you will have ample access to drinking water on the course. You should never have to go more than 2 hours without having access to drinking water. (Whether you chose to stop that frequently or possibly go out of your way to get that water is up to you.) We will identify and supply you with the sources of drinking water we have found and include that information in your race packet. Expect our web site to change frequently over the coming months as we lay out the course in detail. Race Length The race will have an oofficial start time and an official cutoff time (both to be determined). Ther race will be held during daylight hours and is likely to be 12 to 16 hours long. Teams must report in by the cutoff time to be ranked. Teams not in by the cutoff time will receive a DNF. We’re designing the course to allow most teams to finish the entire course. The fastest teams will likely finish a couple of hours earlier than the cutoff time. Teams will be allowed to take time penalties for portions of the course they do not complete. Time penalties for missed portions of the course will result in a time which is slower than most teams who complete that portion. Disciplines You can expect to paddle on flat water, bike on the road, bike off road, hike or run, and navigate by bike or on foot. We will also be adding a ropes segment this year. As much as possible we will try to balance the time you spend in a boat, the time on a bike and the time on foot. Mandatory Gear The mandatory gear list is available as a link in the Race Menu section on the upper left side of the home page. We will check mandatory gear during the race. We are likely to disqualify any team who is not carrying the mandatory gear when checked. We hope to establish a relationship with a local canoe rental outfit so teams who need to rent a canoe have the necessary details. Recommended Gear The list of items we tend to race with and that might be of value to you during the race is at the bottom of the mandatory gear list. It’s your choice whether or not to carry recommended gear. Team Size Any size from 1 racer to 4 person teams. We are not likely to turn a team away due to team size. Depending on the number of teams racing and the money we have left for prizes, the categories for ranking teams in the Open and Intermediate divisions are likely to be all male teams and all other teams. We’ll let you know when this has been decided for certain. We’re focused on a high quality, low cost race and prizes, if any, are not a high priority. Rules We’re not real big on lots of rules. You can expect rules concerned with trespassing and littering (remember the origins of this sport were based on “leave no trace”) and teams staying together and not using anything but human power, but not much else. A list of rule will be included in your pre-race packet. Logistics Lodging - The Kettle Moraine Northern unit has some awesome campgrounds, some with showers. The campgrounds will put you closer to the start of the race than almost all hotels / motels. A link to campground information is available in the Race Menu section on the upper left side of the home page.
- Hotels / motels are available in Campbellsport, Kewaskum, Plymouth, Random Lake, Lomira, Elkhart Lake, West Bend, Sheboygan and Fond du Lac and are all within 45 minutes of the starting location. A link to hotel information is available in the Race Menu section on the upper left side of the home page.
