FAQ
I’m not sure if I’m ready to compete in a TPK event:
Signing up is the hardest part. We encourage anyone who is interested to come out and compete. We create a course that will challenge and reward a wide range of skill sets. Our goal is not to make you quit, in fact we want everyone to finish. Be warned that these races are designed to push you to your limit throughout the course of the event. Only you will know if you are ready. If you're not we'd love to have you as a volunteer. Please select the "contact us" tab to register as such.
The Course:
The TPK endurance courses will incorporate the beauty and challenges of the existing natural terrain. You will find unique challenges and tasks awaiting you at many points in the race.
What's the weather and terrain like:
We leave this up to mother nature and adapt our event to her. You might get wet. There will be elevation gain. It is hot, cold, dry, and wet. Bring water.
Safety:
You must take responsibility for yourself and know your limits while pushing them. We will do everything we can to ensure that athletes are safe. There are portions of the trails that will be marked and portions that could require map and compass navigation. Medics will be available during the race.
