Clinic scheduled

For anyone who is new to the sport of adventure racing and wants to learn about it and basic navigation prior to the race, one of our sponsors, Paddle & Trail of Loves Park, IL, (who is providing the boats for the race), is hosting a clinic next Sunday, May 22nd at 10:00 A.M. We will be going over what adventure racing is about, some of our team's past experiences. We will also be going over basic navigation and plotting maps using UTM coordinates.

If you are interested, please email us ASAP so we know how many people will be attending. We will also have registration forms there for teams who wish to register for the race on June 25th as well.

Interest in navigation clinic?

For those that may be new to the sport of adventure racing, I am considering having an "Adventure Racing 101/navigation" clinic sometime prior to the race.  It would most likely be on a Saturday morning.  We will discuss what adventure racing is, basic navigation using topographical maps (like the ones you will use for the race) and plotting UTM coordinates.  After the "classroom" instruction, we would go out and do some navigation field practice.  If you are interested in attending, please drop me an e-mail ASAP so I can get something scheduled.  There would be a nominal fee ($5) to cover the costs of maps and supplies.
