Adventure Races Adventure racing gets lumped into the mud run and obstacle racing category, but it is very different. The key components of adventure racing are navigation, cross-country running, mountain biking, paddling and climbing. These are team events and can be as little as a few hours or as long as 10 days. Success is usually based on the ability to just complete the race rather than being the fastest. Examples include: Krell, Primal Quest, GODZone Adventure Race and Eco-Endurance Challenge.
