Great Northern Adventure Race - GNAR!

Read below for information about this fun adventure race put on by Michigan Tech’s Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP) Get outside and have some fun!

The OAP has decided to partner with Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly for this event

 

This is the sixth running of the Great Northern Adventure Race, The GNAR, and we want you to be a part of it. This introductory 4-6 hour race will consist of orienteering, mountain biking, running/walking, canoeing, and other mystery challenge events working in three person teams. This is a great race for first time adventure racers as well as a good warm up for the seasoned veterans. The race will take place in the rugged and picturesque area around the Upper Peninsula city of Houghton, MI on Saturday, October 3, 2015 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EDT).

In teams of three, you will have a chance to compete against other teams and the clock, while pushing yourself in new ways. Teams can be any combination of age, gender, and skill level, but it is recommended that all team members are in good physical condition, as the race is planned to last 4-6 hours.
There will be a post-race meal for participants. We have awesome prizes for the first, second, and third place teams! Check out our Facebook page, Michigan Tech Outdoor Adventure Program, to see what the prizes are!

Registration can be found here and more information about the event can be foundhere. Registration ends on Monday, September 28 at 5pm. There are limited spots available, so sign up soon!
