Central Coast Adventure Race

I recently thought that All Out Events cancelled the local sprint events.  After some quick research, it appears the Lopez version is still on in August and the former Santa Margarita event is limited only to the 12 hour event.  My daughter expressed the desire to complete an event, and we plan to complete the August sprint course together.  So cool...

I already thought of our new team name "the daddy daughter dance."

To call this a race, maybe correct.  But a better description is an event.  While in the early days of adventure racing, the participants were highly competetive, the majority of the participants these days are doing the event for the experience and not for the win.  Nothwithstanding there are many teams there to compete, and excellent athletes to compete with, the majority are not.

I think this video shows the spirit and fun of these events and actually shows a lot of action with the team consisting of me and Korey last year.  Watch it and join, get excited, and join us this year...


Important Note - Unless they can get 200 participants by April, the event will be cancelled.  Here is the website if you are curious.  http://www.ccadventure.com/llsprint/
