What to expect

The Jackalope Challenge is a challenging endurance event. Although not reserved for athletes, you should have experience in all the disciplines involved in the race. During the race, you’ll have to make decisions that will influence the length of the race (e.g., whether or not to go for certain checkpoints). To a certain extent, you’ll be able to modulate your route according to your energy and motivation levels. The distances indicated below will vary according to your decisions and choice of checkpoints. Please note that there will be time barriers at certain stages of the race. As the course is unmarked, teams will have to find their way to checkpoints using a compass and a detailed map. The course will remain secret until the day before the race. You’ll spend Saturday night in a rustic campsite, with no access to your vehicles. You will have access to one bin of equipment per person specifically for the camping night.

Logistics

The race organizers will transport bins, bikes and canoes if required. Teams will have access to bins during transitions.

Duration
