The Adventure Family Race Team completes
The Expedition!!
October 7-10, 2004
275 miles of rivers, canyons and mountains
82 hours on the time clock
6 disciplines
4 team mates
1 fantastic support person

Doesn't 14 days of adventuring in Utah's canyon country sound like fun? What if you could squeeze all that outdoor adventure into just 3 days? That's pretty much what we did (not counting the days before and after the race!). We mountain biked, trekked, paddled, rappelled and navigated through this 275 mile course in just over 82 hours. We came in 6th in the 4 person Coed Division, just a heartbreaking 4 minutes behind the 5th place finisher. The weather was fantastic, the scenery was gorgeous, and we all had a great time!
