2008 Results for The BEAR Adventure Race
|
|
|
The BEAR Adventure
Race includes a series of stages that must be completed within the
race time limits. Some Teams enter the BEAR CUB with a 6-hour time limit
or The BEAR (10-hour limit) and are provided with Stage
Instruction sheets to begin the race. Teams are given the next set of
instructions as they complete each stage. There was an intermediate
cut-off time at 9 hours, after which Teams were not given the next set of
instructions that would clearly cause the Team to finish after the race
time limit of 10 hours. At the beginning of the races, both CUB and
BEAR Teams are using the same instructions. Of course, Teams in The
BEAR receive more tasks/stages to accomplish.
|
|
In order to win The BEAR, a
Team must complete the most stages in the shortest time and stay
within
the time limit. |
 |
 |
Please send YOUR photos and we will include some of them with these
results.
