2009 Racer Update!

We have reduced our entry fee this year by almost 10%!

The Siege on Fort Yargo is designed to attract new racers to the sport of adventure racing. While perfect for beginners, the course will still challenge experienced teams of 3 throughout Fort Yargo State Park.

The race will include 8-10 miles of mountain biking, 4-5 miles of trail running, 2-3 miles of paddling, some orienteering points and a few special events. The race will have optional swims for extra points. Basic navigational skills will be needed to complete the course. This is an unsupported race.

The event will be limited to the first 150 teams that register. Registration will close June 1.
