Adventure Racing is is a triumph of the human spirit as much as a sporting event. To compete in an adventure race requires as much, if not more, mental strength as physical strength. It is often said that the fastest athlete is not always the winner. One navigational error can leave you hours behind.

Most adventure races require teams to move through a mixed course that is unknown to the racers until the last minute. They must identify the checkpoint locations, evaluate the terrain and choose the best route within the rules of travel. It's a sport that requires more strategy and cooperation than any other competitive sport in the world.

The typical skills areas are: trail running/trekking, mountain biking, orienteering, whitewater or flat water paddling, and fixed ropes activities like rappelling, ascending, and traversing.
