Competition Format & Team Gear

COMPETITION FORMAT

The Cornhusker State Games Adventure Race consists of trail running/walking, biking, water events (no swimming), canoeing and navigation. Participants won’t know exactly what they will be doing until the race starts…that’s part of the adventure!

Length of race will be 4 hours for the Long Course and up to 2 hours for the Short Course. The Short Course race will be more of an urban race with minimal off road sections. The Long Course will most likely include gravel and dirt trails.

Order of events and cut off times will be determined the day of the race.

Race instructions will be given to participants at the start/finish area.

All team members try to complete each section within the race to score maximum points.
