Hey Too Coolers,
With the last race of 2016 behind us it's time for the Too Cool Nation to start looking forward. Our 2017 calendar will offer something for everyone. If you are new to the sport why don't you get your feet wet with one of our 2-4 hour sprint races. Been away awhile or looking for something a bit more challenging? Our 8 hour races are just the ticket! Want to do something as a family? Our kids love competing in the family division. Miss the good ol' days of stumbling around in the dark and making the best AR memories EVER!? Then our only 24 hr race this season should have your team name on the list.
Whatever you are looking for in outdoor adventure we hope you come share your experiences with us. Be part of the Too Cool nation this year. We will strive to give you and your family awesome weekends as well as memories for a lifetime.
Remember...Get up. Get Out. Get dirty!
Race on, robyn and art

HOWL at the Moon
Oct 29, 2016
This year's HOWL had 2 choices: the 2-4 hr sprint or 8-12 hr adventure sprint. Both races started off with a trivia quiz prologue that determined the team's starting position. Then all teams explored the park's trails on bike or foot, dropped in to a spooky cave and paddled the beautiful canyons of the Colorado River.
We gave out cool long sleeve tees courtesy of our fabulous sponsor RunLab.
.
Congrats to all the teams that came out to play in the dark with us!

When you open your goody bag at any of our races you are getting our guarantee to get
useable, fun, unique shwagg plus samples and coupons from some of the best companies in the business.
We want to take a moment to thank some of our Totally cool sponsors: Hi Tec, Soleus Watches, KIND, Chamois Butt'r, ARNav Supplies, Diesel Barbershops, Tecnu, Last Stand Brewing, Trail Toes, Clif Kids, RunLab, Ultimate Direction and of course Camp Eagle, the most awesome kids camp on the planet!
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.
