Summer Edition
Join us on June 29, 2013 for the Summer Edition of the Grand Rapids Urban Adventure Race in beautiful Rockford, a short run, bike and paddle northeast of Grand Rapids. It will feature canoeing on the scenic Rogue River, biking on one of the best trail systems in the state, fun but not too difficult map-reading/orienteering and the usual Amazing Race challenges. Choose the 4-hour or 6-hour version.
This is the least expensive sprint-class adventure race in the Midwest and the only one to include Amazing Race-like challenges (this is the only sport that calls a 4-hour race a sprint!).
