The Colorado mountains are a fantastic place to go on an adventure, fire up your heart rate, and stimulate both your brain and your body. There are many different types of activities you can do in the mountains. From hiking to rock climbing to orienteering to kayaking to mountain biking, there is something to suit everyone’s interests. But for some people, choosing just one of these activities is not enough. They want to challenge themselves in new and varied ways, and incorporate several things into one whole consummate experience. Adventure racing in Colorado may be just the thing to excite a person with numerous diversified interests.
Colorado adventure racing combines elements of orienteering and numerous other mountain sports, sometimes even camping. In orienteering, a compass is used to find specific points of interest. During an adventure race, participants are given clues to find these points, then once they reach them, they are given some sort of challenge to complete before they are given their next location clue. The challenges can be anything from archery to swimming to biking, and more. The more varied the tasks, the more interesting and fun the challenge becomes. At AEI Base Camp, we join adventure racing in Colorado with team building exercises to help you grow both as a teammate and as an individual. Not everyone will be good at everything, and sometimes you may have to rely on your teammate to help complete the challenge at hand. Adventure races can last anywhere from several hours to multiple days, with teams competing around the clock to be the first to finish all of the tasks.
