Idaho Springs
Clear Creek County, Colorado

CO

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 by Active Endeavors - Davenport, Iowa!

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!

L'Esprit Raid Sahara Organisation :

En quelques mots, nous sommes des passionnés d'Afrique, de désert et des grands espaces. Nous souhaitons vous faire partager cette passion en vous emmenant à la rencontre des peuples du désert tout en vous permettant de vous dépasser sportivement. Raid Sahara Organisation est une équipe qui vous propose les services de professionnels et de bénévoles afin que vous passiez une course pleine d'émotions qui vous donnera envie de revenir à la prochaine édition !

Un nombre de concurrents raisonnable, des repas aux saveurs locales, des campements en bivouac traditionnel, voici la clé d'un raid en toute convivialité.


Aussi, Raid Sahara Organisation s'attache à une démarche de solidarité envers l'Afrique.
Ces raids permettent aux coureurs de découvrir des régions peu touristiques, d'apprendre les us et coutumes des locaux et d'échanger avec le peuple africain. D'autre part, l'événement mobilise des prestataires locaux et la population bénéficie ainsi des retombées économiques de l'événement.
