We are very excited about our entry into Adventure Competitions and we hope you'll join us.

If you're not familiar with Adventure Competitions - neither were we until recently - here are some of the basics:

	The challenge in Adventure Competitions is not to conquer a prescribed, predetermined course, but to conquer a natural terrain. Like the Gobi Desert. Like the Hidalgo mountains of Mexico. Like the Atacama of Chile. Or even the swamps and barrier islands of our own Carolina coast.
	Adventure Competitions are not designed to feature particular types of equipment like bikes for a road race or running gear for a marathon or wetsuits for a swimming event, or all three for a Triathlon. Instead, Adventure Events require the use of whatever equipment you need to master the terrain. For example >> The Barrier Island Eco Thon, just held in October on Dewee, Capers, and Isle of Palms, involved Kayaking, Running/Trekking, and Swimming. (This was John's first Adventure Event.) >> Mark Ellison, a charter member of TEAM Adventure CBC, competed this summer in the Atacama Crossing, a 160 mile footrace across the high desert of the Andes mountains in Chile. The Atacama requires only good footwear, a 20 lb backpack, and the guts to "race" for 7 days across grueling, unforgiving desert. >> Mexico's Husteca, Hidalgo competition covers multiple terrains and involves a full range of disciplines including Kayaking, Trekking, Mountain Biking, Canioning, Rapelling, Spelunking, and Orienteering.
	Adventure competitors have to be so fit, courageous, and astute that the Navy SEALS often attend Adventure Events to recruit new SEALS.

To kick off our involvement with Adventure Events, we are not only beginning to compete ourselves but we are also sponsoring two Charleston Adventure Competitors: Mark Ellison and Mark Nowling, the charter members of TEAM Adventure CBC!
