12-HOUR
SURLY PIKA

PRICING

Registration is not open.

Registration (until 7/4) $ 120

The Surly Pika is not a triathlon or a relay. It is an adventure race in the front-country of Wyoming’s largest mountain range, the Wind River Range. There are two initial race divisions to choose from: a 6-hour course and a 12-hour course. Within each course, teams of 2-3 will receive maps with pre-plotted checkpoints. Teams will make their way by bike, foot, and boat or pack raft through the course to find checkpoints. Routes are not predetermined-racers will choose their own way from checkpoint to checkpoint. Teams do not have to secure all checkpoints to finish the race-this allows experienced racers to be challenged and new racers to create a course within their abilities. However, note that teams will be scored by checkpoints first and time second.
