The MEGA DOSE is BACK! Big brother to the infamous Endorphin FIX, the 2006 MD is set in the Shenandoah Valley, in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains - easily accessible and only 2hrs from Washington DC, with a huge dose of that famous Blue Ridge Mountain down home personality and ruggedness. The MEGA DOSE will take racers over and around Massanutten Mountain, as it rises above the Valley. Athletes will be rewarded with beautiful vistas, sweet mountain biking and hiking trails - that were once traveled by Confederate soldiers in lookout for Union Troops - and paddling the scenic Shenandoah River, whose lazy flow will have teams wondering if they\'re even in a race. Shenandoah, translated to mean \"daughter of the stars,\" was the name given to this valley by Native Americans. Follow their path through the bottomlands and navigate your way over the 1,000’s of feet of varied and wild land to rope and rappel sites spread throughout the 112 mile 40 hour race route.The MEGA DOSE is an Unsupported race, though gear boxes will be allowed (see gear list). The MD 2 Day is open to Soloists and Teams of 2, 3, or 4. Divisions will include all Male, all Female, Co-ed & Masters. Racers will provide their own watercraft. 4 Person Co-ed Teams using the canoes specified (see gear list) will be in the premier division and eligible for prizes.
