  More an Adventure Than A Race
Once the starting gun goes off, the racing is non-stop for up to 60-hours. Teams choose their own routes between race checkpoints -- meaning teams are responsible for their own race. There are no official aid stations, no support crews, no specified "rest" periods; it's just your team, totally self-sufficient, against the Untamed New England course.

The winning team is expected to complete the course in around 55 hours. There are mid-race cut offs where slower teams will be routed onto a shorter course, preventing them from being out on the course for 3 days or longer. The Untamed New England Adventure Race will be challenging for first time racers and experienced teams alike; with a course combining the outdoor disciplines of paddling, mountain biking, trekking, ropes, and orienteering we promise a race to remember!
