Primal Quest Top Five Finishers Announced!
Posted on 08/22/09 8:48 PM| by Kraig
Over the past 24-hours there has been a lot of speculation and questions regarding the final placement of the top five teams in Primal Quest Badlands presented by SPOT. Determining that final order is not as simple as who came across the finish line first, as a lot of factors need to be weighed into the equation, including any time credits earned or penalties incurred, and the number of orienteering points found while on the course. Each of these is added or subtracted from a team’s final time total to determine who will be named the Primal Quest champion.
For the past day and a half, the Primal Quest race jury has worked long and hard to factor in all of this information to determine what the final order of finish will be for the top five teams, and while the results are not official until the race ends at 12 PM local time tomorrow, that order should look like this:
1. OrionHealth.com
2. Salomon / Crested Butte
3. Merrell/Zanfel Adventure
4. Bones
5. WEDALI
Congratulations to these five teams for completing the longest adventure race ever held in North America. The grueling 600 mile course through the Black Hills and Badlands was designed to test your skills and determination, and it is safe to say that you passed that test with flying colors.
Comeback after the race officially ends to see the final order of all the teams that competed in Primal Quest Badlands.
