7 Hour Race Description

We have designed a fun and exciting course to allow experienced and new racers the opportunity to experience adventure racing at it best. Advanced racers will race until the very end to try to clear the course with pro-points while other racers of all abilities will test their skills with a variety of distance and difficulty options built into this awesome course design! We have a great course for you to run, bike, paddle, and navigate your way around in a beautigul area of the Shenandoah Valley and the town of Orkney Springs. T Grab a group of your friends and form a team. We will give you a map and some basic rules to follow. You will then set out and create a strategy for your adventure to get checkpoints by hiking, biking and paddling to different locations. The team with the most points in the allotted time will win.
