On September 15th, 2013 teams and individual competitors will again have the opportunity to experience the beauty of the Pocono Mountains. The Pocono Challenge is a hybrid multi-discipline adventure race that will challenge experienced competitors while giving anyone with moderate training the chance to enjoy mountain biking, canoeing and jogging or trekking with friends or family.  Minimum age thirteen with a parent or responsible adult. (Part of the proceeds to benefit local charities)

The race consists of a
-14.5 mile mountain bike ride along the beautiful McDade Trail
 -10 mile paddle down the Delaware River (We provide canoes, kayaks, floatation devices and paddles)
 -3 mile trek or jog ending at Smithfield Beach.  Click HERE for pictures of the area.

Every competitor will receive a custom t-shirt, finisher's medal, and lunch buffet.

We have spots for eighty (80) individual competitors who will be using kayaks and three hundred (300) teams who will be using canoes provided by Adventure Sports Outfitters.  Check out our new relay division. One on the bike, two in the canoe and one on the trek.

Register early to reserve a spot for your team.  Early registrations start as low as $115.00 per person.  That's less than many triathlons, a little less than one Tough Mudder and a lot less than one tandem jump out of an airplane.
