Adventure racing is a new sport that started a few years ago. In it teams of four people race
non- stop across long distances in difficult environments, 24 hours a day. There are mens
womens and mixed teams. Some adventure races are just one day, but others are much longer.
In the Eco- challenge, one of the most famous races, teams must travel 500 km i9n ten days.
They travel by running, climbing ropes, kayaking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Every
year, the Eco-Challenge is held in a different country and environment, like the jungles of
Malaysia, the desert of Morocco, or the mountains of Canada.
Speed and stamina are very important for adventures races, but theres one more unusual thing
about the sport . To win the race, all team members must finish together. If one person quits, the
team is out of the race. You have to help each other, and you really learn to work together.
Says Bryan Martin. I enjoy that most of all.
