Teams
Team adventure racing is challenging and fun. The popularity of this unique
form of racing event has grown tremendously in the last couple of years.
The Team Adventure-O will consist of 2 or 4 teammates cooperating against other
teams through a course which will test their skill, competitiveness, strength,
endurance, and teamwork. No support will be necessary, as event organizers will
handle equipment transport.

Race Preparation
At least one member from each team must attend a mandatory
