EVENT INFORMATION |
Both races start and finishe at the Chassahowitzka Campground Boat Ramp
The Crusher will be a "modified rogaine format" meaning there are both "Mandatory" and "Bonus/Optional" checkpoints. Participants have Eight Hours to "go out into the woods", bike, run, or paddle to all of the "Mandatory" points, but then also collect as many "Bonus" points in the allotted time. Everyone must be back by the 8 Hr Time Limit. Strong map-and-compass skills are needed for The Crusher. The Crumbler is a bit more structured; there will be a designated course that all "Crumblers" must follow as they run, bike, and paddle along a mostly marked course. Be prepared for "Special Challenges" along the way, as well as a small bit of easy map-and-compass navigation. |
