MTBO America is a proud sponsor of the Dauntless Adventure Racing Team
MTBO America is very excited to be racing in the Soggy Bottom Boys 2010 Orienteering Rogaine and Land Nav Challenge in southern Virginia next week! Starting at 9am on February 27, 2010, orienteers will be racing 3, 6, or 12-hours throughout the Hampton Roads area in and around the Pipsico Scout Reservation in Spring Grove, Virginia. It’s not a pure MTBO race, but when it comes to American style mountain bike orienteering, its has close as it gets for now.
Currently, the 12-hour option is the one MTBO America is focused on since its the only option with mountain bike orienteering. The 12-hour race format is more an orienteering duathlon (or biathlon) broken up into 3-hours of USOF style Foot Orienteering, 6-hours of Mountain Bike Orienteering, bracketed by another 3-hours of Foot Orienteering. However, the last 3-hours will approaching 6pm EST which will make it more of a Night-O challenge then the first 3-hours. Rumor has it that there will be over 70 checkpoints!
This race is being directed by Mark Montague from the Soggy Bottom Boys racing club and supported by Hampton Roads Adventure and the Quantico Orienteering Club.
