A MUST DO RACE… The Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge is a traditional race that will test the mental, physical, and emotional limits of the elite and amateur adventure racer. The Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge courses are 90 to 100 miles in distance and of varying landscapes and will challenge racers in trail running/ trekking, navigation, paddling, mountain biking, ropes, and other race disciplines. The Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge is a classic. Come see for yourself!

* masters division teams must have a combined age of at least 120/160 years with a minimum teammate age of 35 years old. Masters teams may have 3 OR 4 team members but will be scored as one division.

The 2007 Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge race course is EMBARGOED effective January 5, 2007. This means that all race course venues, as listed below, are OFF LIMITS to all eventual competitors whether they are currently registered or not.

The embargo will be in effect through Thursday April 12, 2007. This embargo is being imposed in order to provide the most "level playing field" for all teams.

Many Rogaines and orienteering A-meets impose embargoes to promote fairness. Please respect the spirit of this rule. If you have any questions feel free to contact me (Jerry) at: jerry@planetadventurerace.com or (317) 590-0762.
