BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Badlands will be the site of a national extreme racing championship in October for competitors who will canoe, hike and bike across 140 miles or so.
The Bismarck Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1fK5mdm) that the race is part of the North American Adventure Racing Series. The race headquarters will be in Killdeer.
Areas that will be featured in the race include Little Missouri State Park, the Maah Daah Hey Trail, the Killdeer Mountains, Lake Sakakawea and the Little Missouri River.
Race officials say the route should include 20 to 30 miles of canoeing, 25 to 40 miles on foot and 80 miles on bike.
The route is not marked and competitors will need to use orienteering skills to find checkpoints along the way.
