The Dream…
We’ve been doing Spartan Races for a while now and when looking for race options came upon ADVENTURE/EXPEDITION races! It was like a dream description - mixed teams (each team needs a woman), high miles, multiple sport disciplines (trek, kayak, bike, mountaineering) over multiple days, compass navigation receiving a map hours before the race starts! Here are the racers!
