Sneak Peek Race Details!
Posted on 06/28/07 3:08 PM| by Brian Knight
While the exact location of the race must remain a secret until the fall of 2007, several states are currently running neck and neck. If you do not have firm summer vacation plans, you may wish to visit places like (in no particular order of significance other than it is an alphabetical list) Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, or Nevada.
Participants can expect as epic a race as Utah and exposure to totally different environments. They will race for five to ten days over 400 – 600 miles of gnarly terrain. In addition to the classic elements of AR: mountain biking, trekking, and paddling, next year racers will face extraordinary sections of whitewater swimming and mountaineering.
Remember, race registration opens Sunday, July 1 and already interest in the race is proving overwhelming with hundreds of excited calls and emails a day.
Supporting the race will be a small army of 150 staff and volunteers who all share a passion for adventure. Anyone interested in seeing the sport of expedition racing from a totally unique perspective can register to volunteer online right now!

Looking forward to more details but it’s great to hear the PQ heart beating.

Will there be any animals aka horses/mules/cows/whatever involved with the 2008 PQ? Just curious just in case racers may be “animal challenged” !

Great question and nice round up of beasts of burden who are indigenous to American western states! But I think you left one off your list.
Seriously though, there won’t be any camels (didn’t you see Eco-Challenge Morocco?). In fact, I’ve just confirmed that the 2008 race will have NO LIVESTOCK!
