Site's Map Muttley's "revised" Team of Evia Crump, Cary Kinrose-Wright, Jamie Webster, Derek Weekly & Holly MacSweeney competed in the Fort Bragg Perimeter Challenge on Nov. 4 & 5. In some 19+ hours they did a forced ruck march for 29.2 miles with 20lb. pack, did some obstacles, land nav., paddling, 2 mile litter carry with 98 lbs., and finally a 20 mile sprint to the finish. Here is their story of overcoming foot odor, poor military distance calculations, and electrolyte deficiency for a supreme finish and meeting their team's goals and making a showing as the the best Adventure Racers out there. By Holly "Weeny" MacSweeney
With the Muttley's Gang Team Roster finalized less than a week before the race, and most team members never having met the others, there was a lot of uncertainty about team dynamics & compatibility. I was in the fortunate position to have already met and been slightly familiar with everyone's experience and skill level. To be honest, in my mind, it was very questionable as to whether we would finish the race. My cynicism was not brought on because of a lack of will, desire or drive of any team member; but, merely by the of the lack of experience in 24 hr races, as well as the fact that only one of us had ever run more than 26 miles at one time (Jamie). A few of us may have hiked more than this, but likely no more than 35 miles. The goals of the race were laid out early on by Evia as the following: 1. Have fun; 2. All five team members to finish the race; and 3. Beat at least one military team. Goals 1 & 3 were very achievable (if beating a team meant going further), but Goal 2 was certainly not a given.

Team ACE Brand takes on Discovery Channel Adventure Races, f/k/a/ Southern Traverse in New Zealand. 11-18 November: DCAR - Team ACE - 2nd American Team
With the addition of the Discovery Channel to the media coverage of the Southern Traverse also came the fierce competition for the $100,000 that would be divided amongst the top 8 finishing teams. For the Kiwis, the $40,000 (US$) meant $100,000 in NZ$ - huge cash. Of the 58 teams that assembled on the starting line, 26 were from New Zealand, 10 from the US, and 22 other international teams and/or mixed nationality teams. Our goal was to be the first American team across the finish line. We came pretty close to the goal as we took on what we consider the most difficult race course we'd ever encountered. [More]
