So you're ready to try an adventure race? Awesome! Grab your family or a team of friends and get ready for a good time. This race is designed for a beginner--a Tenderfoot--and will be simple enough to learn and enjoy, but challenging enough to be considered an adventure race!
The morning of the race, we'll give you a map with checkpoints and a list of "Rules of Travel." This gives you clues to checkpoints and tells you how you'll get to them--by trekking, paddling, or mountain biking.
Teams will have 3 hours to find as many checkpoints as possible. Each checkpoint and challenge will be given different point values, so strategy is vital. The highest point accumulation in the shortest amount of time will determine ranking. We will have several challenges set up on the course, each involving lots of teamwork. Once the teams have found all of the required checkpoints, they sprint back to cross the finish line.
The Shenandoah Tenderfoot AR is basically an off-road, all-terrain, high-octane scavenger hunt. It's perfect for families and for beginner adventure racers--you can choose how far and how hard you race. And after this event, you're sure to be hooked!
