Experience:

The Coat to Crest will challenge the most experienced of athletes, take time to prepare for this event. Before starting any training program consult a medical professional about potential risks involved.

We recommend biking, running and kayaking as ways to prepare for this race. Basic knowledge of rappelling is highly recommended. For instruction we recommend attending a basic belay class at your local climbing gym.

The Coat to Crest provides a challenge to experienced adventure racers and those who are new to adventure racing. However, it is highly recommended that racers have some experience with navigation and endurance activities. 

Competing in these events takes training and hard work, don't underestimate yourself either. You do not have to be a "pro" in all of the disciplines to complete an adventure race. You should push yourself and/or your team to accomplish your goal but most importantly have fun!
