Length: 6 hours
Location: San Luis Obispo, CA

Grab a teammate and head out to collect checkpoints on a kayaking, mountain biking, and trekking challenge, condensing a month’s worth of adventure into a short expedition through California’s beautiful backcountry. See some beautiful country and make lifetime memories!

The Checkpoint Challenge partner sprint incorporates:

  • 8-10 miles of mountain biking (60% single track, not technical, but if you’re used to sticking to fire roads, this will be challenging)
  • 4 miles of technical trail running/scrambling/swimming (minimal swimming skills needed – if you can handle a pool, you’ll handle this)
  • 2-3 miles of kayaking
  • This is a great way to get introduced to traditional adventure racing! You’ll experience the partner aspect while enjoying minimally marked courses that require you to follow your map.

Doing the half day? Double the trek and kayak distances, add orienteering and epic ropes! You will be on less marked course and need to  rely on a map and compass to complete the course.
