El Reto -

The weekend of the 12th we hosted an adventure race at El Refugio in partnership with an organization called Proyecto Aventura. They generally host three shorter races a year (about 30 km each) and then the Huaraisinchi (about 300 km). The shorter races consist of running, biking, and orienteering.

The event went well with our biggest concern being parking. Racers made it off alright, the first checkpoint was at the top of our property, 1300 ft. (400m) above the starting line. Teams in the elite category made it up in about 25 minutes. After descending they grabbed their bikes to re-ascend by a different route before finding a few orienteering points again on foot.

There are a few details here in Spanish, a few photos here.
