Untamed Virginia Adventure Race


The Untamed Virginia Adventure Race is becoming a classic mid-Atlantic endurance experience; more an adventure than a race!

Untamed Adventure

Race Discipline: Paddling


The Untamed Virginia Advenure Race will include significant paddling sections, on both flat and moving water. Teams should be prepared for up to Class 2+ water in some cases. There also could be portaging opportunities for teams.

Teams of two must paddle a canoe; teams of three are permitted a canoe and a kayak (but they may choose to all 3 paddle in a canoe); teams of 4 are permitted a canoe and a kayak.

The maximum canoe length permitted for teams racing officially 17'0". There are no requirements in terms of kayaks.

The race will not provide watercraft for teams; you are responsible for bringing your own boats to the race. If you're looking for rental canoes, we'll soon provide a list of outfitters available to source canoes for Untamed Virginia racing teams.
