Description
The Extreme North Dakota Spring Primer Adventure Race (END-SPAR) - it's our annual sprint distance race designed to provide a means for those new to adventure racing to get their feet wet (and muddy and possibly blistered!) without committing to a longer race. That said, it's no picnic and could probably be accurately billed as the 'second hardest race in North Dakota'. It is held in and around Turtle River State Park about 30 miles west of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Each year the course will change and entirely new mystery challenges will be presented.
Besides being a great entry point into the sport of AR, it is also an opportunity for experienced teams to hone their skills for the coming season and/or develop new skills that will prepare them for longer races. I like to think that when racers who are well acquainted with (and able to complete) the ENDracing series do other races they will happily realize that their ability to comfortably be 'out of their comfort zone' is more than a match for most events.
