Adventure Event V Update # 1 (11/23/2009)
This year's event is almost entirely on new trails (again) - same ocean though. And, like last
year the event has a net elevation drop of over 1,000 ft. The event will take place in the
Santa Monica Mountains. We expect this year's event to take about 4-8 hours -depending on
your ability level.
Ideally you will be in teams of two - although we are flexible to alternatives....
1) Please read the following carefully.
2) Please remember this is not a race - if asked, it is a training event – we keep time merely for informational purposes.
3) If at all possible carpool to the event – the fewer cars, the easier the logistics become.
4) Plan to arrive and be ready to go by 7:06 AM. Ready to go means:
5) Be sure to have:
a. At least 70 oz of water.
b. Some sort of energy food
c. A compass – no GPS allowed.
d. For trekking/running/orienteering
i. Running/trekking shoes
ii. Normal clothes/gear for adventure
* Be aware there are a few sections of poison oak – so plan accordingly.
e. For the ropes (we set up the actual ropes)

iii. You must have a helmet (bike helmet ok)
iv. You must have a cord to make (or have) a backup prussic (or equivalent)
v. You must know how to rappel**
** If you do NOT know how to rappel it is possible to go around - BUT, it is very likely we will hold a FREE rappelling clinic the weekend
before the event.
f. For mountain biking
i. You must have a Bike
ii. You must have a helmet.
g. For kayaking (we provide kayaks and paddles)
h. We prefer you to bring your own PFDs, but we do have some to loan (if all of ours are out on the water you will to wait (or borrow)
one before you can go out.
6) Maps will be provided. Very few parts of the course are marked with flour arrows.
The order of events is:
trekking/ trail run
mountain bike
orienteering/ trekking/ trail run
short bike
ropes

7) This is not a race.
8) Each participant will need to sign a waiver.
