2023 - Buff Betty Adventure Race
2023 distances
Adventure race
Buff Betty 10-12 hour
In 2022 we introduced the 12 hour Buff Betty and we were thrilled with the response and all the bad-ass Buff Betty’s that took on a tough course. This year’s course will be challenging as well, especially with regards to navigation on the foot sections. Paddling will also play a big role in this race and teams can expect anywhere from 6-10 miles of paddling with the possibility of some class 1 & 11 rapids. If you have been thinking about taking on a longer race and feel that you have the fitness and navigation ability to get to the finish line this is the race for you. Or perhaps you want to work on that navigation, test yourself and see what you can do on your own as a soloist, or leading a team without the guys around…. The team that acquires the most points in the least amount of time wins. All checkpoints will be optional with all TA’s mandatory. Teams will be able to do as much of or as little of the course as they feel comfortable doing. The course is a secret until race morning when you get your map(s) and rules of travel instructions. This race will feature live race tracking.
Buff Betty 6 hour
This 6 hour Buff Betty will be designed as a beginner friendly race that will also challenge those veteran Buff Betty’s who perhaps do not have the time, skill set yet, or desire to do any race that requires a headlamp and being out in the woods all day long. It is also the prefect race to introduce your daughters or nieces to, or a friend that is curious and interested in the sport. This particular course will take into consideration the elevation gain and loss in the park, and will be designed so that you have fun, with a little bit of challenge thrown in. The team that acquires the most points in the least amount of time wins. All checkpoints will be optional with all TA’s mandatory. Teams will be able to do as much of or as little of the course as they feel comfortable doing. The course is a secret until race morning when you get your map and rules of travel instructions.
