The Berryman Adventure: Getting Close To Go Time!
Press Release / 13.09.2008
The 36-Hour course will not be for the faint of heart. You will be racing in some extremely remote areas of the Ozark Mountains in Southern Missouri. The 36-Hour course will also challenge even the most competent of navigators. Most people know that at the core of adventure racing is navigation, and the reason Bonk Hard Racing loves the 36-Hour Berryman course so much is because we have a "no holds barred" mentality on making the navigation extremely difficult. This year's race is going to separate the men from the boys (or the women from the girls), in terms of navigation. So, 36-Hour teams, please, practice your navigation, train hard and come as prepared as you possibly can for one extremely fun and epic adventure race!
Don't feel left out 12-Hour racers! You're going to get an action-packed, exciting course as well! You will be biking on some fantastic singletrack trails, trekking and running on some seriously rugged (and steep) terrain and paddling one of Missouri's most scenic rivers against some fierce competition! We are very excited about the 12-Hour course, and there is a good possibility that you will be getting VERY wet during the race.
We have almost 200 racers signed up from almost 20 different states! People are coming to the Berryman Adventure from as far away as the states of Washington to New York, and we plan to make the Berryman an experience you won't soon forget. Here are some of the benefits of racing at the Berryman Adventure this year:
- A very nice, LONG SLEEVE wicking performance shirt from Columbia Sportswear's Titanium brand of apparel! A $35 value!
- Free pre-race pasta meal!
- Chance to enter a pre-race raffle which will include items like a Liquid Logic Stingray 12 Kayak (retail value of $750) from Dynamic Earth, a Garmin Edge 705, a Garmin Forerunner 405, a North Face tent, Salomon XT Wing adventure racing shoes, Bonk Hard Racing wicking performance shirts, free race entries to any Bonk Hard Racing event and much, much more! (Raffle tickets are $1 for 1 ticket, $5 for 6 tickets, $10 for 12, $20 for 24, and so on.)
