The Women's Race is a team-based race. Two-woman teams run, walk, and splash together over a course that will take between 1 and 2 hours to complete. Our mission is to ensure everyone has FUN. PLUS...Chris Rowley from Hyde Park Baptist Church will lead a short inspirational service on Sunday morning from 7:30 am - 7:50 am under the big tent. Chris is a breast cancer survivor who oversees Mission Austin and the Christian Women's Job Corps. | |||||||||||
 Ok, you need more specific details on the race. Here's what we CAN tell you, the rest you find out on race day. Some things have to remain a mystery... | |||||||||||
 Run/Hike/WalkDescription There will be two run/hike sections. The first section will be approximately 1 mile. The second section will be approximately 1 mile. Racer Requirements All you need for this section is the ability to run or walk 2 miles, a great attitude and a smile! Equipment Requirements Your teammate and a good pair of shoes. Running shoes will work and trail running shoes will work even better!  Water LegDescription The water section is your chance to be creative. Teams will complete this section in watercraft they have brought or better yet built! Racer Requirements Each team must provide their own watercraft and PFDs (life jackets). Teams may build floats or bring store bought water craft such as rafts, pool noodles or kick boards. Equipment Requirements 2 PFDs (life jackets) 1 to 2 water craft Water craft can be home made or store bought - just about anything that floats! The only prohibited watercraft are hard shelled boats, kayaks and canoes (hard plastic, aluminum, etc.) but inflatable boats are ok! Dont forget there is a contest for the best 5 watercraft!  Mystery EventsDescription Mystery Events can be physical challenges such as running handcuffed with a teammate. They can also require intellect such as solving a word problem. All the Mystery Events in the Women's Adventure Race are designed so teams can be successful, feel challenged and definitely have fun! Racer Requirements A great attitude and smile are all it takes!

This is a really fun race
I did this race last year with some coworkers and we had a blast! Much more fun than competitive, and there was a LOT of free food last year. It's a great starter race if you have some friends who are not particularly athletic.
Note: A USARA license is NOT the same at a USAT license.
This race is not chip timed.
