7.14.2008 We're eyeing the dates of June 18-21 for the 2009 edition of Untamed New England. This course will have tougher paddling (whitewater), tougher mountain biking, and generally be even more Untamed than the 2008 edition. Look for more details in the coming months.

Chris Yager, of the Green Mountain Adventure Racing Association, is captaining a team in the Untamed New England Adventure Race. Chris has agreed to share his insights and thoughts with us as his team prepares for the race.

"The race organization said, 'You'll hardly notice the elevation gain as we've tucked it into the most innocent of locations. It will be a gentle 30,000 feet.'"

  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!
