April 5th - Family Adventure Race #1
(Conway Robinson State Park, Gainesville, VA):

For this adventure, parents will team up with one to two family members between the ages of 6 to 16 will ride their mountain or hybrid bikes on trails following maps to different check points.  At major bike checkpoints the teams will drop their bikes and continue the adventure on hiking trails and bushwhack through the woods to find additional checkpoints and accomplish different team challenges.  Once the team has found all of the required checkpoints they spring back to the finish lines where all the children get to ride down two zip lines to the finish the race. Great food, door prizes and awards for all competing teams following the race.

Parents will team up with one or two children between the ages of 6 to 16 and together find a variety of checkpoints trail running, trekking and team challenges.  The teams will be assigned a map with 20 checkpoints of different value. The challenge will be to find as many as points in the 2 hour time limit. This is new format for our races and will be a lot of fun and a big challenge, but guaranteed to provide a lot of laughs.

December 6th – NVRacing’s Frozen Foot Challenge Adventure Race
(Conway Robinson State Park, Gainesville, VA):

There will be twenty checkpoints throughout the course and each team will be given a map to assist them. The teams will be given an hour and half to find as many checkpoints as possible and get back to the starting line before the 1.5 hour time limit expires.  Each checkpoint will be given a different point value, so each team will have to plan a strategy to get as many points as possible.
