No Sleep Adventures is helping to support this great project right here in our back yard. This is huge for our area. Did you know there are already hiking trails and an orienteering course here too. Going to be a goldmine for AR training! Please support this project.

Help develop 20 miles of trails and 22 acres of bike parks by building the initial Campus Loop and Broadway connector trail on USI's campus!

We had a fantastic event in the Shawnee National Forest at the Turkey Legs Adventure 4-HR! Thanks to all the racers and families that came out for a fun event despite a few obstacles we had to overcome for this one. It was so good to see everyone and meet new racers, especially all the young ones that came out and braved the cold. Full results and recap coming soon!

Thank you everyone for your quick response! It was an overwhelming, "Let's do this thing!" so, Game On. We will process refunds today for the few people who couldn't make it. If you haven't signed up yet, do that soon! We need numbers and shirt sizes to get swag ordered and on the way! You are all awesome and we can't wait to see you soon.

Several people asked about gun season for deer. While season will be in, the entire Pounds Hollow and most of the surrounding area are off limits to hunting as recreation areas. That said, we will be updating the gear list to have you bring a piece of blaze orange that you can have visible at all times just to be on the safe side.

Due to unfortunate circumstances with the original race venue for the 4-hr Turkey Legs Adventure, we are being forced to make a decision to change the location, or possibly cancel the race. We have secured a new venue and permit guarantee at Pounds Hollow Recreation Area in the Shawnee National Forest. We are very familiar with this area and have an amazing race planned for you! The scenery is stunning! http://www.nosleepadventures.com/2022-turkey-legs-adventure.html

We need your input immediately to help us move forward. Please answer the applicable questions in the survey below.

For those already signed up, but unable to attend due to the new venue location, we will offer 100% refunds.

All teams are now through TA 3 and on to the bike leg.
TanZ and 43 Down are crushing this course and have finished the bike leg and are now out on the Big O. Current leaderboard below.

06/04/2022

The first few teams are in off the paddle and traveling an inline trek to start the bike drop. 43 Down and TanZ are neck and neck for the lead with 38.6 Degrees, No Sleep (2 Coed), Team Last Minute, Ghost Riders, Herd or Turtles not far behind.

Signal is patchy out there so updates might be more intermittent as the night progresses. Follow along with live tracking.

06/04/2022

BOR, Planet Express and RVRLVN are out on the boats.

06/04/2022

Team No Sleep (3 male) are down the rappel and hopping on the water. They’re missing teammate Kyle Kelley for this race, but are carrying him with them on this adventure. Let’s see how he’ll hold up over 24 hours.

06/04/2022

The first team, 43 Down, has cleared the first O, completed the rappel and are out on the Ohio. TanZ Navigation and Team No Sleep are just behind them.

06/04/2022

Now that teams are on the course we’ll share a little about this years course for all of you watching at home.

Course Overview

After a Friday evening pre-race meeting, teams received their maps and clue sheets and had the rest of the evening to plot points and start planning their routes. One items racers did not receive was the coordinates for the first 7 checkpoints of the race. Teams received their passports and coordinates for the first 7 checkpoints at race start at 7 a.m. Saturday.

After plotting points on the clock, teams will take off on foot to complete a six-point O-course in any order. After obtaining the six points teams proceed to CP7, a 100+ foot rappel from the San Damiano bluff down to TA1 where they will transition to boat.

Teams then paddle about a half mile down the Ohio River before heading into Big Grand Pierre Creek. Big Grand Pierre is a flatwater creek that rises and falls with the Ohio River level. It starts wide and narrows as it heads north. After heading up stream for a bit they will turn up Little Grand Pierre Creek picking up one CP either on the way in or back out as they make their way to a small 3-point, 3-mile O-course. Then its back into the boats and back to Big Grand Pierre where they head north and pick up one CP before taking out at the Hwy 146 bridge.

From here teams transition to foot and start a roughly 3-mile in-line trek to the bike drop. There is only one CP on this section located in a small cave.

At TA3 they transition to bike and begin a long, hilly 30+ mile bike section that includes paved, gravel and dirt fire roads and some rugged horse trails. The route is essentially a big loop across the north half of the race course and finishes at TA4 at One Horse Gap Lake, where teams will transition to foot for big 12-mile orienteering course. Most teams will be completing this O-course during the overnight hours.

After completing the O, teams return to the Lake (TA5) and transition back to bikes for a last 10-mile push to the finish picking up a pair of CPs along the way.

We think the course will be clearable for some, but others will need to manage time and route choices to maximize points and return to the finish on time. Both the bike and foot sections offer teams some different route options, so don't expect to see all teams following the same line during the race.

The first teams are off after plotting the last few points this morning! The tracker is now live. Follow along for the next 24 hours here.
