Waiver Form    Team Info Form

The Planet Adventure Sprint Adventure Race is the ideal race for those looking to enter the great sport of adventure racing. It packs all the same race disciplines of the Planet Adventure 24-Hour Challenge Race into 4-6 hours of challenging fun and teamwork. A must do race for novice adventure athletes looking to experience adventure racing and ideal for experienced racers looking to have fun or prepare for a longer race.

This year's race will also feature a beginner's division, designed for those racers that are trying their first race! Each team member on a beginner division team will get their own map so they can follow along. You'll still get to do all of the disciplines, just a little less of the more technical ones so that you can finish the complete course. You'll also get a discounted rate since the course is a little shorter. We'd love to see a lot of first time racers out there this year so get registered now! This will be an open division, meaning that you can race as a two or three person co-ed, all-male or all-female team.

We've been a little slow to get registration open this year so we're going to discount the entry fee for everyone for the first week of regisration. We're using Google Checkout instead of paypal this year. They're having a promotion for first time users that will save you another $10 per team off registration if you register by May 15th. This is a Google promotion so terms and conditions on this discount is through them. *update: it appears that this promotion from google may not be working any longer.

OTHER INFO

Weather: The weather in June can obviously be very hot and humid in Indiana, so please be sure to stay well hydrated, etc... We will have medical personal at the race; however you're ultimately responsible for yourself and your teammates. This is Adventure Racing (keyword ... Adventure), so for those that are new to the sport, you need to know and understand that it's very important that you plan accordingly with hydration and first aid needs until professional medical assistance or race staff can reach you.

Gear List: Please be sure to read over the gear list and make sure you have what is required. We try to keep the gear requirements to a minimum for our 'Sprint' races, but again, make sure you have what is posted on our gear list. You do not need a headlamp.

Paddles and PFD's: We have paddles and PFD's for teams to rent if you don't have one. Please notify us if your team needs paddles. We recommend using your own, but again, we do have plenty to rent.

Volunteers: We can always use more volunteers for our races. Volunteering is a great way to get involved in Adventure Racing. Email us at volunteer@planetadventurerace.com if you can help out.

Teams/Teammates: If you need a teammate or a team, please check or post to our message board.
