Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Now that the Turas is over we can focus our attentions on another world class adventure race. Our own friend of TGU Avril Copeland is in Montana now preparing for Primal Quest 2008; “The World’s Most Challenging Human Endurance Competition”. Check out their team blog here, you’ll see that Avril has tonnes of experience in expedition length races including Eco Challenge North America, Appalachian Extreme, World Championships and three Primal Quests

Primal Quest® is an environmentally friendly, ecologically aware wilderness Expedition Adventure Race. Teams of experienced back country adventure athletes journey across expansive terrain using only a map, a compass and combined skills. Successfully finishing requires much more than stamina and mental fortitude. It requires selfless teamwork, spirit and absolute determination.

The race through 500 miles of wilderness is due to start tomorrow. Best of luck Avril, we’ll be following you the whole way!
