Women in Adventure Racing Info Session

What exactly is an adventure race? Consider it somewhere along the lines of a multi-sport, scavenger hunt, obstacle course! Each adventure race is different and offers it’s own rewards. TrailBlazers along with Team Green and REI is offering a special information session on what it’s like to be a woman involved in the traditionally male dominated sport of Adventure Racing!

When January 15th from 7-9pm
Where REI Brentwood Franklin Pike
Brentwood, TN 37027
Cost FREE, and open to women only
Contact Karin Richard-Jacobi

We will discuss:

a) The history of females in Adventure Racing
b) Physiology of women in racing (and why females excel in long races)
c) Women‘s typical strengths and weaknesses at different stages of racing
d) Women – are they really just “mandatory gear”? (hint: nope)
e) Balancing training, racing, work and family
f) What it’s REALLY like to be out there with the guys

Refreshments will be provided and there will be lots of time to ask questions. This is a free clinic and is open to both TrailBlazer members and non-members. It is open to both experienced and new racers.
