We have more photos to come very soon. Most likely tomorrow.

The Final Results

The Second Annual Calleva Race Official results including CP breakdown:
EXPERT | SPORT

The SPORT category ranking was calculated by adjusted racing time plus penalties, minus bonuses.

EXPERT teams ranking was more complicated. Only 3 teams finished the full course within final cutoff at 19:00. These 3 teams were ranked ahead of all other teams.

Despite terrible weather all teams in both SPORT and EXPERT managed to finish the race, a great accomplishment in itself. Only one team lost one of their teammates, but continued the race unofficially.

First place in Prime division and free entree to 2010 Calleva Adventure Race is awarded to team A-List/Too Many Kids (EXPERT course) and team U.H.B. (SPORT category). Team U.H.B. is overall winner and is the only team that took all possible bonuses in the SPORT category. In the EXPERT category the overall winner is soloist ATP (Scott Pleban), clearing the course and finishing the race 19 minutes before the cutoff time. We also want to mention team Panic Azimuth got all possible points in EXPERT category course.

We want to thank all racers for taking on this incredible challenge. We have already started working on 2010 Calleva Adventure Race.

Keep up the good training and get ready for next year.
