Editorial Reviews

Marc Hinton, Sunday Star-Times
Adventure racing is, for the uninitiated, these multi-day, multi-disciplined events which tend to cover the most difficult terrain imaginable, set navigational tasks from hell and require seemingly superhuman feats of endurance.

Paterson's tome fills a void in a fast growing sport which is capturing the attention of the world's media and athletes inclined towards challenging pursuits.

For racers it contains helpful information... For would be adventure racers, this book is a must. Read it before investing in all the gear and time needed to enter an event.

You just might learn something. Or be scared to your senses.

Book Description
