The Palmetto Swamp Fox Adventure Race will be held on Saturday March 15, 2014
The Palmetto Swamp Fox Adventure Race will be held in the Frances Marion National Forest north of Charleston, South Carolina. Racers will travel across land, swamp and water seldom visited by man since the elusive Swamp Fox, Francis Marion.
Designed to cover approximately 55-60 miles, with a finishing time between 10-12 hours, Solo racers and teams of two, three & four members will face some of the most challenging obstacles that nature has in this region. Racers will be required to plot UTM coordinates(Orienteering) to locate check points while Kayaking/Paddling (Approx. 10-12 miles), Mountain biking (Approx. 20-30 miles) and trekking/running (Approx. 15-20 miles).
The Swamp Fox course is lineal in nature but all points can be collected in any order within each element…
NOTE: Don’t be intimidated by this years listing with NAARS & USARA. Remember, all racers don their race gear the same way, the swamp is an equal victimizer and There Is No Such Thing As Can’t!
