Celebrating 5 Years of Adventure Racing!

6 HOUR SPRINT RACE - Hamburg, PA

Racing in the 6 Hour Sprint?

Download rules, directions, and information here


 
As part of our 5 year celebration, we have added this sprint race to our 2008 schedule. It's a great way for teams, who may not feel ready for a 12 hour/50 mile race, to still experience the challenging terrain and beautiful woodland of Hawk Mountain. This 20 mile/6 hour event takes place the same day as our 50 mile race, but with a shorter, slightly different race course.
 
Join us in honoring and commemorating a dear friend, fellow adventure racer, and fellow search and rescue instructor, who died while training a few years ago. Krista spent many years training and instructing at the Civil Air Patrol's Search and Rescue School based at Hawk Mountain, PA. Proceeds from the race will go to benefit that volunteer school. Teams of 2 to 3 racers will face the seemingly unending challenges of Hawk Mountain including: rugged terrain, lots of elevation changes, and awesome scenery.

Approximate distances......
   5-7 miles of foot orienteering
10-15 miles of road and mountain biking
team challenges and military style obstacle course
NO PADDLING


Grab some friends and come on out for a great, fun challenge!

This is a spectator friendly race!!

 
 

Racing teams can get involved in helping defray their race costs and
raise money for The Civil Air Patrol all at the same time!

For each $100 the racer raises, $10 will be subtracted from
their registration fee!

You could race for free!
All proceeds and pledge money will go to the
Pennsylvania Wing Civil Air Patrol Search and Rescue Program.

Racing for this great cause is both rewarding for participants, volunteers, spectators, and sponsors.
