Mighty MO Expedition Adventure Race
The Mighty MO Expedition is an expedition-length adventure race that will set teams of four on a journey through the state of Missouri. Forty teams of 4 will race together for up to 80 hours to see if they can be crowned champion of the highly anticipated second running of the Mighty MO Expedition!
THE COURSE: The course for the 2008 Mighty MO Expedition will be a very challening and fun course for teams of all skill levels and experience. Teams will race on new trails, new rivers and terrain that no adventure race course has ever been on. Teams will ride some of the best single track mountain bike trails in the state, see beautiful caves, paddle crystal-clear spring-fed rivers along towering bluffs and trek through steep, rugged terrain. The 2008 Mighty MO Expedition course will again be between 200-250 miles, and teams should not take this course lightly. It will challenge even the most experienced adventure racing teams, and will provide an adventure of epic proportions to teams that have never competed in an expedition length race.
WHAT: A grueling 80-hour expedition in the state of Missouri. Teams will run, trek, mountain bike, paddle, navigate, traverse, rappel and do whatever else is necessary to get your team to the finish line.
WHEN: May 15-18, 2008
WHERE: The race will start at the YMCA Trout Lodge near Potosi, Missouri. The race will be a point-to-point race, and racers should expect to finish the race in a different location.
FORMAT: The Mighty MO Expedition will only allow 4-person teams. Teams can be co-ed or open. This race will be supported.
PRIZES: 1st Place: $6,000 | 2nd Place: $3,000 | 3rd Place: $1,000
