Sorry to hear this has been cancelled. I was looking forward to it as my first adventure race. I have been racing triathlons in this area for many years and had never heard of this event. I found it by actively searching for adventure races online. Perhaps some ads in local magazines like Endurance would increase enrollment in the future. Hope to see it come back next year. All the best.

Regret to hear the cancellation news. You hinted at it but this speaks to the need for recruiting new comers to the sport. It is an expensive sport and takes time; this is true but if they can only experience that trying primal moment on the trail then …

The words in the AR community should get out that we need to teach the sport when possible. Free training also never hurt; that is how I got into it (no RD, no support).

Sorry to hear it was canceled, had a great time last year even though I came unprepared, and was prepping to redeem myself, hopefully it will be on next year plus I had a couple of friends doing it this year since they have jumped on board for it.

Sorry to hear that the race has been cancelled. I was looking forward to the event.
With this cancellation, the folks at active.com need to be notified of the change and the event needs to be be removed from there website. It is still posted as of 7/17/08.

Hope to see it next year.

Bruce, that’s too bad the race has been canceled, I hope it’s not permanent. I have been trying to compete in this race for the past 2 years, but have been unable to, because of conflicts; the summer in NC always seems to fly vacation commitments, etc…Perhaps if the race was earlier in the year, or after the summer holiday there may be more “enthusiasm” ? It would be a shame to see a local race like this fall by the wayside, especially for the cause it supports!

cheers,
rich

I understand the reason for cancelling this event. I’m sorry that it won’t happen. I was looking forward to this being my first adventure race. What about the entrance fee already paid? Thanks, Deb Young
