2011 Race Details

2011 CRC RACE RESULTS

What
3-6 hours of mountain biking, trail running, river paddling with lots of special tests throughout.  The format is 2-person teams male/female/co-ed or individual and the course is friendly enough to be finished by the novice racer, while challenging enough for the veteran adventure racer.  We expect the top teams to finish in about 3.5 hours with the majority of racers to have finished in 5 hours.  The route incorporates the last of the whitewater of Alabama's major river systems and finishes in historic downtown Wetumpka.

This is a USARA sanctioned event and a USARA license is required to race.  A one day license fee ($8 per racer) will be added to your active.com registration, or please include the amount on your mail in form. USARA licenses will also be available for purchase at check in, as well as annual licenses for $35. 

Included in the registration fee is a pre-race meal for each participant (at the pre-race party Friday night).  Non-participants may purchase a meal for $5. 

NOTE: In a change from previous years, racers will be grouped based on ability/expected performance ranging from ("I'm fast and here to win" down to "I'm just here to challenge myself and unlike last year I would rather not be passed by over 100 other racers") More details to follow on our new emerging grouping idea.

Want to see where you'll be racing??? Check out the virtual tour. This will be the trail for the opening run and bike. The opening view is the actual transition area. The race route won't be the exact route marked on the virtual tour but you'll get a good idea of what to expect.

Pre-Race Registration/Briefing get-together
Again this year we will be hosting a pre-race party of sorts at Coosa River Adventures [map]. All participants (and guests) are asked to attend to receive their bib numbers, goodie bags and free dinner. Check-in will begin at 4:00 pm (no day-of registrations). There will also be a meeting at around 7:00 pm for questions and race rules stuff.
