The Bitter Pill 12-hour Adventure Race
Length: 0 miles
Location: Bolton Valley
Announcement: The Bitter Pill, Aug 12th \'06
This year\'s Bitter Pill is on!
What: a twelve hour adventure race in gnarly yet picturesque Vermont. Disciplines will include mountain biking, trekking, swimming, canoeing, and a possible ropes section. As always with our races, navigation with topographical map and compass will be a crucial part of the entire course. Don\'t forget the post-race festivities -- pool, hot tub, showers, arcade, massages, bonfire, and perhaps most importantly, our post-race meal and awards ceremony!
Where: Bolton Valley Resort in Vermont. This area is as beautiful as it is challenging: plenty of elevation to gain and lose, great wooded navigation, and solid mountain biking on all sorts of terrain. You won\'t go home disappointed!
Who: Unsupported teams of two or three. We use an accelerated cutoff system that allows us to really challenge experienced teams while providing a great race for first timers.
When: Registration, gear check, and navigation clinic August 11th. 12 hours of fun begin at 6am August 12th.
Cost:
Before July 10th: Teams of 2: $240, Teams of 3: $330
July 10th or later: Teams of 2: $280, Teams of 3: $375
GMARA members ($25/year) will receive a $20 discount on their entry fee.
