Tug Hill Extreme Adventure Race
Tug Hill Extreme Adventure Race takes place May 30–31 in Boonville, NY, with Hidden Meadows Campground listed as the event base. The event offers two race options: a 24 hour adventure race that includes mountain biking on roads and trails, flat water paddling, and off-trail navigation using map and compass, and an 8 hour adventure race that includes biking and trekking with paddling to be determined.
The 24 hour race is a USARA sanctioned regional qualifier and an ARWS NA points race. Teams receive one set of topographic maps with pre-plotted checkpoints and use map and compass only to navigate while trekking, mountain biking, and paddling. Team sizes for the 24 hour race range from 1 to 4 people. Checkpoints are optional and teams score by finding checkpoints within the time limit; teams arriving after the cut-off lose one checkpoint per minute late.
Entry perks include a performance T-shirt, live tracking, one set of race maps per team, a race passport for checkpoint punching, post race food and one craft beer or nonalcoholic beverage per person, and prizes for top finishers.
USARA membership is required; a single day USARA membership is available for purchase during registration. Mandatory individual and team gear lists cover navigation, safety, hydration, bike repair items for bike sections, and paddling equipment for paddling sections.
