After nearly a year of logistical planning and course designing, the organizers of Primal Quest have received all the necessary greenlights to move forward with their 2008 marquis event – Primal Quest Montana. Scheduled to run (literally) from June 23rd - July 2nd, Primal Quest Montana anticipates that more than 60, four-person, coed teams will converge on Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana to compete in this granddaddy of all adventure races.
Called the "World's Most Challenging Human Endurance Event" and "The Super Bowl of Adventure Racing", the race is legendary for its grueling courses set amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in the USA. From snowy summits, to verdant forests, to raging whitewater rivers, Big Sky, Montana, and all the area's surrounding mountain ranges, are sure to serve up a breathtaking backdrop to this adrenaline-filled, lactic-laden event.
Over the course of the 10-day race, teams will run, kayak, climb, mountain bike, riverboard and navigate their way – non-stop – across more than 500 miles of Montana's topographically endowed landscapes. Along the way, athletes will experience sleepless nights, blistered feet, blood-sugar crashes and more than 100,000 feet of vertical gain as they compete for more than $175,000 in cash and prizes.
