About This Event:
The Family Adventure Race is intended to be a fun youth/adult team race for athletes of all abilities and experience. Even if you have participated in the Star of the North Adventure Race in the past, you can expect some changes – and maybe even some surprises. That’s the nature of adventure racing!
But to give you a general idea of what you’ll be facing, the 2011 adventure race format will likely include the following legs:
Run/walk
Cycling
Canoeing
Orienteering
Depending on the final format, the entire course will take between 45 minutes to about 1:15 to complete.
Each participant will complete the entire course. Teams will be timed on the time of the slower of the two team members, so team members are expected to stay together throughout the race. Awards will be given based on overall time.
Location:
Quarry Park, 1802 County Road 137, Waite Park, MN 56387.
Start Time
On-site registration will be open the morning of the race from 8:00-8:30 am.
A mandatory participants’ meeting will be held prior to the race on the morning of the race.
The race will start in waves, with the total number of waves determined by the number of registrants. Teams will be grouped by ages. The first group will begin the race at 9:00 a.m.. Your official wave start time will be confirmed after you register.
The race director reserves the right to re-assign divisions based on participant numbers.
Age Divisions and Eligibility
All teams will consist of two participants. One adult (19 or older) of any age, teamed with a youth (7-18).
There will be three divisions:
Youth 15 – 18 years old, teamed with an adult 19 or over.
Youth 11 – 14 years old, teamed with an adult 19 or over.
Youth 7 – 10 years old, teamed with an adult 19 or over.
Youth athletes may team up with any adult, including parents, neighbors, older siblings, and friends or relatives. Age determined by age on June 18, 2011.
Rules
Cycling helmets required while participants are riding. Tandem bikes and child carriers are not allowed; each youth team member must ride their own bike.
Teams will be timed on the time of the slower of the two team members, so team members are expected to stay together through the race. There is no advantage for the faster team member to move ahead of the slower teammate.
Special Registration Instructions
Paper registrations: Each team member must fill out their own registration form. The registration form of the youth athlete must be signed by the child’s parent or legal guardian. Please enclose both registration forms TOGETHER in an envelope, with the $30 team entry fee.
