Primal Quest, North America’s most gruelling adventure race, has announced that next years 10-day event will be in the Badlands of South Dakota. A couple of weeks ago I interviewed Jeremy Kuhlen, a Richmonder who’s competed in at least two of the Primal Quest races. Click here…
Closer to home, the Primal Quest Sprint Series will return to Pocahontas State Park for another 4-6 hour adventure race on April 18. I did the first PQSS race back in May at Pocahontas SP. It was a lot of (painful) fun.
Here’s the schedule for next year’s expanded race schedule:
Northeast PQSS Series:
Event #1 - Richmond (April 18, 2009)
Event #2 - Detroit, Michigan (June 13, 2009)
Event #3 - New York/New Jersey (August 8, 2009)
Event #4 - Pittsburgh, PA (October 10, 2009)
Southeast PQSS Series:
Event #1 - Miami, Florida (March 15, 2009)
Event #2 - Charlotte, NC (May 16, 2009)
Event #3 - Nashville/Chattanooga, TN (July 11, 2009)
Event #4 - Atlanta, Georgia (September 12, 2009)
As you can see, there will be plenty of opportunities for teams to compete in these shorter, faster, Sprint Series races. In addition, points will be awarded to teams based on how they finish the race, and at the end of the season, an overall PQSS champion will be crowned. That team will win an automatic entry into the Primal Quest Expedition Race in 2010.
