We are glad to announce
the opening of registration for the 6th annual Calleva Adventure Race. This year we will have two categories: EXPERT for advanced racers and SPORT for strong athletes with limited experience in adventure racing. Both categories will have up to 10 hours to complete the course. 2013 race is open for teams of 1, 2 and 3 racers.
EXPERT race disciplines include:
Mountain Bike: 15 miles, at least half will be single track.
Hike/run: 7 miles minimum.
Paddle: 2-3 miles minimum, all on slow moving water. Teams will paddle canoes, solo racers white water kayaks. All paddling gear are provided.
Navigation: Easy for mandatory part of the course, much harder for optional check points. You will have to navigate at every stage of the race, including paddling.
SPORT race disciplines include:
Mountain Bike: 10 miles on roads and gravel roads with short optional sections on single track.
Hike/ run: 5 miles minimum.
Paddle: 2 miles minimum, all on slow moving water. Teams will paddle canoes, solo racers white water kayaks. All paddling gear are provided.
Navigation: Mandatory part is trivial. Bonus sections are similar to the expert course.
Check-in and finish are at Riley’s Lock. Start will be at a new, undisclosed location. Last year start was at Point of Rocks, MD, 20 miles straight line from the finish. This year start will be inside this 20 miles radius as well. Gear lists (
sport and
export) are updated for 2013!
