Our friends at Bare Essentials magazine, one of our media partners for Primal Quest Badlands presented by SPOT, have put together another great article that takes an inside look at the race by interviewing Rick Emerson, the course designer who has come up with all the sadistic ways to punish the racers in August.
In the article, Rick discusses how he approached designing the course, balancing world-class challenges while showing off the best scenery that South Dakota has to offer. He also hints at how his own outdoor adventure experience influenced the design proces. As if that wasn’t enough, Rick also gives us some ideas on what we can expect in the Badlands in a few weeks time. He tops it off with his top ten things to know before you go that will be of interest to racers and fans alike.
