2011 NGAR Info

Wow, we’ve had a lot going on in preparation for the race. Beth, Jon, Peter and I are excited about the way the course is shaping up and wanted to share some information about the course, registration details, and race dates.

Race Date and Location

The NGAR is March 12-13, 2011.  It is hosted by the Global Retreat Center (same pre-race registration as last year) outside Ellijay. Registration is open and is open to the first 120 people – we’re accepting 2 and 3 person teams this year. Past years have sold out, so make sure you register early if you want in. We will close registration on March 1 or when we get to 120, whichever comes first. Note that registration is only available on the Checkpoint Tracker Adventure Racing site.

Course

The 90 mile, 30 hour course is being designed by Jon Barker (former captain of team CP0) and Peter Jolles (current captain of team CP0).  You can expect a professional course with lots of great scenery, single track, moving water, bushwacking, and navigation. New for this year…we’re adding a moving water segment. As part of that, we are allowing any type of boat you want to bring. Please remember that composite boats usually end up on the wrong side of a fight with low water and rocks. Practice, practice, practice.
