With a little more than a month to go until the start of the race, the Primal Quest Website has gotten a bit of a facelift. The 2006 race is set to get underway June 25th, as nearly 100 teams of four will attempt to complete an 800 km course, in Utah this year, in under 10 days. The website will provide online, up to the minute GPS tracking, as it has in years past, which will help those of us staying at home to follow the action. You'll also find team profiles, news, and course information.
If you are not familiar with the Primal Quest, you're in for a treat. It's the premiere adventure race in the Northern Hemisphere, boasting a $250,000 purse, and reknowned for it's grueling course and challenging legs. So far, all three Primal Quests have been won by Team Nike, who shared the win with their arch-rivals Team Seagate in 2004. The race underwent some reorganization last year, following the death of Nigel Aylott in the 2004 race. Those of us who follow adventure racing are happy to see it back, and look forward to an awesome race this year.
