6. Untamed New England Adventure Race –

i. What to expect: Over 250 miles of wilderness covered on foot, bike and canoe. The Untamed will test your navigational skills to the max and you’ll be on your own for bike repairs, finding water and food, orienteering and all other necessities and eventualities. Teams have four days to complete the course.

ii. Race Difficulty: Deemed “more adventure than race” by the organizers, the Untamed will undoubtedly test your endurance. It covers over 250 miles of wilderness and teams have up to four days to complete the circuit. With no ‘set’ route, however, the greatest difficulty lies in finding your way and being completely self-reliant. For participants who don’t like the idea of 4 days in the wild without assistance, a ‘buddy’ can be arranged and will meet you at checkpoints along the way.

iii. Cost: $3,850 (4-person team)
