March 20, 2010 

The Palmetto Swamp Fox Adventure Race will be held in the Frances Marion National Forest north of Charleston South Carolina. Racers will travel across land, swamp and water seldom visited by man since the elusive Swamp Fox (Francis Marion) and his patriots outwitted Sir Banister Tarleton and his British Dragoons.

Designed to cover approximately 55-60 miles, with a finishing time between 10-12 hours, Solo racers and teams of two, three & four members will face some of the most challenging obstacles that nature has in this region and will overcome victoriously by using a strategy much like the Swamp Fox. Racers will be required to plot UTM coordinates to locate check points while Kayaking (Approx. 8-10 miles), Mountain Biking (Approx. 28-35 miles) and Trekking (Approx. 8-10 miles) throughout the day possibly facing all elements at any time and not in any particular order. Teams will also be challenged by the obstacles that nature and this director place in front of them. This is a self supported race so all required equipment and food will need to be carried by each racer throughout the day, no exceptions.

Check-in/Packet Pick-up and gear check will be from 4:00 p.m.- 7:00 p.m. on March 19, 2010 at the McClellanville Town Hall/Boat Ramp.
