Racing With Untamed Adventure
We at Untamed Adventure got our start racing, but we've also been putting on adventure races for many years.
Our courses are creative, challenging, and fun but don't just take our word for it:
-
"Of my 20 plus AR's this was the best yet. Please sign me up now for next year's race. By far the best organized, managed, and executed."
-John Thomas (Team Trango Stonewear from Ohio)
-
"Words cannot describe the Untamed Adventure crew and so I won't try, except to say it was a really good gig."
-Mark Lewis (A Pride of Lemmings / NVRacing from Virginia)
-
"I'm deeply impressed by the level of organization involved prior to the race (great website, clear communication, online medical forms and canoe rental), the smoothness with which the race operated (all flags in the right place, great directions for the support crew), and the outstanding quality of the course (lots of interesting tactical and strategic decisions to make, beautiful scenery, lots of transitions between events). As you know, this was Miles' first race and, thanks to your course, he's completely hooked."
-Brian Staveley (UltraBambi from Massachussetts)
We look forward to sharing more adventures with everyone and, as always, may your maps always be dry!
