An endurance event typically involving teams navigating a course using a combination of disciplines. These events often include orienteering, trail running, mountain biking, paddling (canoeing or kayaking), and rope work. The objective is for teams to complete the course, visiting checkpoints along the way, in the fastest time possible. A typical example might involve trekking to a designated location, then cycling to a river where they must paddle to the next checkpoint before embarking on a final run to the finish line.
Participation promotes teamwork, strategic thinking, and physical fitness. These events test not only physical stamina but also problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively under pressure. Historically, the concept has roots in military training exercises and evolved into organized sporting competitions that challenge participants in diverse and often remote environments.
