Hey Too Coolers,  

Adventure racers are unlike any other athlete, in our opinion.  We come in all shapes and sizes. We have differing athletic abilities.  We will loan you a tube, a tire, a bike and even a pair of shoes!  We dare to go where few do: caves, cliffs, deep/dark places in the woods in the middle of the night.  We compete fiercely against our best friends or right along side them. Our races are harder than the Ironmans,  Spartans and Tough Mudders and folks doing our races for the first time tell us so!  We are a small community because few can do what we do.

We are inspired every time we put on a race by so many folks and their determination, regardless of the final outcome.  You are truly 'REAL' adventure racers!

  

Remember...Get up.  Get Out.  Get dirty!

Race on, robyn and art

Howl at the Moon Adventure Race
July 12-13, 2014
 cave  
Colorado Bend State Park played host to the first ever Howl at the Moon Adventure Race. 

It was a super cool night as a super moon lit the night sky.  We had two courses set: a 12 hr sport course that utilized the trail map of the park and a 12 hr adventure course that utilized a topo map with UTMs and compass. Both courses had mtn biking, paddling, trail running and a caving section.


A huge thanks goes out to all the racers, our sponsors, our TA staff Deanna and her helpers and the park staff that worked their tail off making sure our racers got the best experience possible!

Tips, hints and other cool stuff

 
A few 2015 tidbits:
 
Big Chill will be back based out of South Shore. You can go ahead and make your reservations at Osprey Point.
 
12 hr will be the longest course Too Cool puts on next year.  If you like racing in the dark we recommend racing the HOWL.
 
Look for a 'relay' style division where you put your best mtn biker, runner and paddler to the test.

We want to take a moment to thank all of our Howl at the Moon sponsors: Ultimate Direction, Hi Tec,  Chamois Butt'r, ARNav SuppliesTwisted X & KIND!

 
If you dig any of the things these companies sell than it is up to you to support them by purchasing their products.  Adventure racing is a relatively small market when you compare it to sports like soccer and football.  These companies believe in us and what we do.  Therefore it's vital that we support what they do. 

We know you have a choice where and who to race with so we thank all of you who have chosen to race with us!  We hope to see you all at the Heart of Texas!

Race on,
