Terra Incognita 2009 - 9th editionCroatia, 23rd- 27th September 2009
Terra Incognita is an Expedition Adventure Race that covers over 400 km through Croatia - one of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes on the European Continent. Two and four person teams race non-stop for 24 hours a day over five days and nights. They must make it from start to finish un-supported. The clock never stops.
Navigating over the entire course the teams must overcome demanding challenges of mountain biking, sea and river kayaking, hiking, canyoning and fixed ropes descending. In order to succeed competitors need to rely on their team-mate, their survival skills and their mental and physical preparedness. Strategy of movement, resting, sleeping and planning of food supplies and proper equipment is crucial. If one member drops out - the team is disqualified.
Terra Incognita is designed to push the boundaries of human endurance. It takes a lot of courage to start the race and only the most relentless can finish. Finishing this race is an extraordinary achievement. Winning Terra Incognita is beyond description. In 2009 the 9th edition of Terra Incognita takes place in the South Adriatic region and will include very different landscapes: the South Adriatic Sea with its islands as the backdrop, Dalmatian mountains that rise from the sea and reach over 1800 m of altitude, diverse lakes, rivers and the only remaining swamp on the Mediterranean! Also, Terra Incognita will include some part of Western Bosnia and Herzegovina and peaks over 2200 m of altitude!
