Introduction to Adventure Racing with James Galipeau

Adventure racing is a multi-disciplinary team sport combining trekking, mountain biking, and paddling over unmarked wilderness, typically spanning hours to two weeks. Adventure racing is a growing sport across the globe. It challenges it's competitors physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is also a gear-heavy sport, and a navigational challenge.
