The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, from Rochester, New York, published a nice introduction to the sport of adventure racing, and to Primal Quest, today. Here’s a bit of what they wrote:

Adventure races are nonstop, non-motorized, multi-sport team events that take place in the wilderness.

Contestants navigate to checkpoints using only maps and compasses. Mountaineering, hiking, kayaking, rafting, river boarding, orienteering and mountain biking are required skills. But endurance, strength, commitment, selflessness and sheer will are also tested.
