Unbridled Adventure Race Series
in Kentucky State Parks
With a reputation for designing courses that leave even the most hardcore racers crying for their mommas, Flying Squirrel Adventures is showing its sweeter side in 2012, with the Unbridled Adventure Race Series in Kentucky State Parks. Presented by the Kentucky Office of Adventure Tourism, the series is designed to introduce beginners to the sport of adventure racing with a fun 4-hour inaugural event and train them up for the challenging 12-hour Red River Gorge American Classic, a/k/a The Fig, headquartered at Natural Bridge State Resort Park in the fall.

Sheltowee Extreme 4
Because there are still parts of the Cave Run Lake Recreation Area yet to be explored in this race, the Sheltowee Extreme will be back in 2012 as a 15-hour race and a Regional Qualifier for the 2012 USARA Adventure Race National Championship! This year's National Championship will be open not only to co-ed, but also to male or female teams of three. There's no reason you shouldn't make it to the Catskills this year!

The Fig X
2012 marks the 10th anniversary of the Red River Gorge American Classic, a/k/a The Fig, and you can be sure we plan to celebrate accordingly. The Fig will be the championship race in the Unbridled Adventure Race Series in Kentucky State Parks. The post-race banquet will be "the" adventure racing event of the year in Kentucky, as we crown not only the winners of the championship race, but of the series, too. Don't miss it!
