From Dusk Till Dawn course information The race format can be best described as an “Adventure Rogaine”. Overall race time is limited - literally From Dusk till Dawn. All checkpoints have their score assigned and their type (paddling, MTB or trekking). Race will start with the paddling section where all teams should follow the same direction. Race course designed as a clover leaf with event center approximately in the middle of the course- you start each leg at the same place where you leave all your gear and nutrition. Teams can choose to skip some of the checkpoints and make paddle shorter or even skip paddling leg, but teams will not be allowed to be down to the water after completion of any other leg. In other words, paddling leg should be the first leg. After the paddle teams have an opportunity to warm themselves near start camp fire and even have some bbq to get ready for the next legs. Participants are free to decide whether to do run/trek first or bike or adventure task. You can choose to skip some CPs and as far as you took one CP that meant you're in the list of finishers. |
