Medved Winter Challenge
January 29th, 2012


There are two choices in how you can participate in the Medved Winter challenge.
  1. A 5k Snowshoe race that takes place on a beautiful and challenging course
    through  Webster park.
  2. (The real challenge)  Start your day with the 5k snowshoe race. Then find yourself a
    teammate and compete in a 2 person 4 hour mulit-discipline adventure style race.
              Still interested..Of course you are...so keep reading about the adventure race
The Medved Winter Challenge consist of and not completely limited to the following
disciplines:  Traveling by use of snowshoes, traction devices, post holing(walking through
the snow with only boots on) and mountian biking.

The other main component for the day will require general navigation skills using a map
and compass.  Don't be too worried only basic map reading skills are needed.

Here is how it works:
As the race day approaches a list of mandatory equipment will be made available on
the website.
on race morning your team will sign in at packet pick up and receive instructions for
the rest of day.
you will then compete in the 5K snowshoe race with your finishing time being
computed into your final score for the 4 hour adventure race.
the adventure race itself is scored by gathering points from predetermined locations
set by our course designers.  The more checkpoints you get the better your score.  
Sometimes checkpoints MUST be accomplished in a sequential order and sometimes
you get to create what you think to be the most efficient direction of travel
finish and discuss your stories for the day with other racers.  It that easy....
