The 3-hour race is perfect for beginners and families. Past finishers have included toddlers and septuagenarian. The race course is mostly on-trail hiking and optional mountain biking, and is a perfect introduction to the sport for those new to adventure racing.

The 8-hour race includes hiking, biking on mixed terrain, and canoeing. It's a manageable challenge for anyone willing and able to spend a day roughing it in the woods (provided there's food and beer waiting for them at the finish).

The 24-hour race is an extreme challenge, involving multiple hiking, mountain biking, and canoeing stages. Teams race through the day and night (and day again), covering 50 to 100+ miles in total distance.
