Geared towards adventurous
individuals who are interested in an active camp where challenge, personal achievement and camaraderie are the goals. This
trip is off the beaten path and is not your typical “tourist activity” involving large groups in heavily visited
places. You will spend 4 days in the Colorado mountains rock climbing, rappelling, ascending, traversing on fixed ropes, trail
running, and trekking. The final day of the camp will involve summit attempts on two 14,000’s peaks. The cost of the
camp is only $900 per person with round trip transportation (minimum of 10) or $700 per person without transportation (driving
or flying on your own) to Idaho Springs. This includes 4 days of mountaineering adventure, 3 nights deluxe motel accommodations
(double occupancy), a technical commemorative shirt, ropes and rigging, guide services, maps, free on-line credit card processing,
permits, SPOT live satellite tracking allowing friends to follow your summit attempt on-line, and arrival and after summit
celebrations. Food, alcohol, and personal expenses are on your own. Each day’s activities have been geared to acclimatize
you to the altitude, increasing your chances of standing on the summits of the 7th and 11th highest peaks in Colorado. Join
your guide, Gerry Voelliger, to experience a thoroughly planned and hassle free trip on some of his favorite genuine Colorado
adventures. Space is limited to 15. Participants must be in excellent health with a high level of physical fitness. Sponsored

Adventure Racing in Costa Rica is alive and kicking!
Dear adventure
racers,
Grettings from Adventure Racing Costa
Rica! We would like you to
present our 2008 agenda, including the 8th edition of our Coast to
Coast
Challenge, to be held this coming April.
The 2008 adventure racing season in Costa
Rica
is set to go. This is
our 10th season organizing races and we are excited about the events
we have planned. Here is
the schedule for 2008:
1. The Coast to Coast Challenge (5 day expedition race April
20 - 26)
2. The
Pacuare Adventure Race (3 day stage race August 8, 9 &
10)
3. La Soledad Team MTB Race (1 day race
October 4)
4. 24 Hours of Costa Rica (Expedition race December 6 & 7)
For each of
these events we have designed itineraries for
international teams. You just have to show up at the airport ready
to
race and we will take care of the rest.
The first Race will be the 8th Edition of The Coast to Coast
Challenge which
will start on the Caribbean Coast
at 10am on April
20th 2008. Teams will bike, hike, climb and paddle across Costa Rica
through tropical rain and cloud forest, up and over the continental
divide and along country roads passing typical Costa Rican villages.
Teams will have 142 hours (almost 6 days) to
complete the 500+ km
route across Costa Rica. The winning team is expected to finish in
just under 4 days.
The
Pacuare Adventure Race and the 24 hours of Costa Rica being much
shorter races may be more attractive to those
teams with a busy
schedule. Both these races offer a tough PRO route and a more
accessible SPORT route for teams that
are just starting in the sport
of Adventure Racing.
The La Soledad Team MTB race celebrates its 10th edition this
year.
We have put together a fun 9 day adventure trip that includes
whitewater rafting on the Pacuare River, hiking and soaking in hot
springs at the Arenal Volcano and relaxing before the big day on the
palm fringed beaches of the
Pacific Coast. The numerous mountain bike
rides incorporated into this trip also enable you to experience
Costa
Rica up close while preparing for the Race.
The itineraries
surrounding the Races are our suggestions to give
teams a chance to see some of this beautiful country. However, we
are
always willing to adapt these if there are specific places you
would like to visit or for families with children coming
in support
of the team. Coast to Coast Adventures is a full service travel
agency so organizing a trip for family
and friends or adding a few
days on the beach after the race are all possibilities.
For more info on these races
and the packages that we offer visit our
website www.adventureracingcostarica.com
Adventure On!
