We announced a few weeks back that a “home team” was selected to represent the state of South Dakota at Primal Quest Badlands presented by SPOT, and now it seems that the team is receiving some publicity in their home state as well.
The Black Hills Pioneer, a local newspaper in South Dakota, published an article about the team and their preparation for the race. Here is an excerpt from the story:
After bikers roll out from the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, adventure athletes will roll in as South Dakota hosts Primal Quest.
Dubbed the world’s most challenging human endurance race, Primal Quest Badlands is a 10-day, 600-mile group wilderness adventure race. Beginning Aug. 15, co-ed teams of four will bike, paddle, and run, plotting a route across a 600-mile course through rolling hills, canyons, climbing up rock walls, navigating through dense forests, kayaking, and even spelunking through Black Hill caves.
For hosting the event, South Dakota is allowed one “home team” for the race, which is sponsored by Primal Quest. Racers interested in competing submitted an essay of goals and qualifications of each team member.
