Novice Program – Summer

The novice adventure race training program is intended to prepare those with little or no adventure racing experience for their first sprint length adventure race!

Participants are expected to have little or no knowledge of adventure racing. Since novices stand to learn the most from adventure racers, the program is led by a group of coaches who are experienced adventure racers. There are separate coaches for each discipline, and each has a strong background in the sport they will be coaching. Check out the coaches page for more information.

Practice will be held every Monday and Wednesday at 6:30 pm, as well as every other Saturday morning, with some exceptions. Weekday practices will be dedicated to one of the core disciplines of adventure racing: running, biking, paddling or navigation. Weekend practices are intended to add even more variety to the program and may include exposure to some of the fringe disciplines of adventure racing (such as rollerblading, scootering, climbing and ropes work and mystery events).

As the schedule advances, participants may expect to participate in a variety of disciplines at practice. For all practices, the discipline of emphasis as well as any required gear will be listed on the website training calendar.
