2010 AR Tune-Up

This year's AR Tune Up will be held at Riverbend Nature Center, Faribault, MN on April 25th.

Cost: $20 per person ($30 for solo). Any team configuration will be allowed. This is an informal event, though, run and administrated like a real adventure race. No prizes, but, great personal recognition!

New this year:

There is a team bike drop prior to the race. The location will be given out when teams register. This bike drop is a 15 minute drive to the start parking lot.
