Sport 4 Hour and Elite 10 Hour Adventure Races

About the Race

We will be making announcements about the possible camping arrangements (since we moved the location). 

4-Hour Race

The 4 Hour Beginner Adventure Race is perfect for new or family teams looking to have some fun discovering the outdoors with adventure racing. Easy to read and simple navigation will take you to some hidden spots. Distances are always based on your team’s abilities and speed in adventure racing, however should expect between 10-15 miles of mountain biking, 3-5 miles of trekking with 3-5 miles of canoeing. 

If you are new to adventure racing, we will have sessions to help you prepare starting at 10 AM. You should also go to the FLX facebook page (it is public, you do not need a FB account unless you want to post or add questions) and read up on the postings.

10 Hour Race

SOLD OUT

This race is sold out, you can still register as a solo and bring your own boat. Once racing you are welcome to travel with other solo racers (as long as tehy do not mind)

The 10 Hour race is a more challenging race, however, set up for a beginner team looking to just “jump right in” their first race. Distances are always based on your team’s abilities and speed in adventure racing, however roughly 20  miles of mountain biking, 6-10 miles of trekking with 6-9 miles of canoeing.​

General Info

All teammates must be present to check-in and receive instructions. The later you are the shorter the time to prepare.

We supply all canoes, paddles, and PFDs, however, teams may bring their own paddle gear.

Water and snacks will be provided at Transition Areas.

Race Includes: T-shirt, Food and Drink after the race and awards for each division.

All teams will use our supplied canoes. If you are a 3 person team you may wish to bring your own 3rd seat.  This seat works fine in the canoes.  We do have some middle seats, but cannot gurantee they will be available.

Solo Racers

We welcome solo racers, however have a very limited supply of kayaks. Unless special arrangements are made to use one of our personal kayaks all solo racers should plan on bringing their own boat. Boat staging is very near the start and instructions will be given on how to stage your boat.   If you want to register as a solo please email contact@flxadventures.com  for a registration link (I just want to confirm you will be bringing your own kayak). We will mail you back a link to register. 

Grief Heores Foundation

Proceeds from this race will go to support Grief Heroes, a nonprofit aimed at helping childen deal with grief issues after the loss of a parent or loved one.
