Teamwork, strategy, and adventure await in Mountain Madness, Colorado’s unique team orienteering trail race! In this all-terrain challenge, teams must rely on map and compass skills to navigate the rugged wilderness and collect as many checkpoints as possible before time runs out - no GPS allowed! There’s no set course, only the raw beauty of Colorado’s backcountry and the strategy your team brings to the race. Stay together, choose your route wisely, and decide whether to chase high-value checkpoints deep in the mountains or rack up points with closer, faster finds. The terrain is unpredictable, the clock is ticking, and teamwork is everything. Self-sufficiency is key. Your team must carry all necessary supplies, and adapt to changing conditions. Whether you’re seasoned orienteers or first-time adventurers, Mountain Madness will test your endurance, navigation, and ability to work as a single unit. * **Gentle Grizzly** is a 3-hour course with 5 checkpoints. Although, checkpoints are spread out, they are located close to the start. This is a good event to attempt if you are new to orienteering trail racing, and/or would like an easier event to try. * **Savage Grizzly** is a 5-hour course with 10 checkpoints. Checkpoints are spread out across the state park. This event is for those teams who want a proper orienteering trail race challenge. Does your team have what it takes?
