After much deliberation, we have decided to reschedule the following Primal Quest Sprint Series Events:
Moraine State Park, Pittsburgh PA 
September 6
US Whitewater Center, Charlotte NC October 4
We apologize for any inconvenience this rescheduling may cause, but we feel an official roll-out of the Series starting in 2009 will allow for greater coordination with host venues and more cohesive marketing opportunities for host organizations/local AR clubs.
We’ll be making a broad announcement in the coming weeks and encourage you to sign up for the Primal Quest Mailing List to ensure you don’t miss important information about the Sprint Series and the 2009 Primal Quest Expedition Adventure Race.
We’re very excited about the direction the Sprint Series is headed and are confident the rescheduling of events will allow us to offer athletes an unparalleled racing experience.
Thank you for your flexibility and your continued interest in the Primal Quest Sprint Series!

The PQSS is a series of shorter, faster adventure races designed by the same team behind the Primal Quest expedition length race. Teams of two compete in the traditional adventure racing disciplines of mountain biking, trail running, and paddling, with a few surprise events thrown in as well.
The Sprint Series launched in May with the first ever race taking place in Chesterfield, VA. In 2009, the Series will expand with more races tentatively scheduled as follows:
Miami - mid February
New Orleans - late March
Nashville - early May
Detroit - mid June
New York - late July
Pennsylvania - early September
Richmond - mid October
Atlanta - mid November
Top teams will earn points based on how they finish in the Sprint Series races, and at the end of the season, the team with the most points will be crowned the PQSS Champion. The winner of the Primal Quest Sprint Series will earn themselves an automatic entry into the 2010 Primal Quest Expedition Race.

In recognition of all their hard work in Montana at the 2008 Primal Quest, the management and staff would like to extend an invitation to all the PQ volunteers to take part in two Primal Quest Sprint Series races free of charge.
The Primal Quest Sprint Series are shorter, faster races, lasting 4-6 hours, but still incorporating all the traditional adventure racing disciplines such as trail running, mountain biking, and paddling. But the PQSS also has it’s own unique events, such as cargo net climbs, rope bridges, optional orienteering, and the grueling SEAL “log PT”, brought to you courtesy of Don Mann.

Mark your calendars and prepare yourself for an event like no other. Registration opens July 15th for the Blackwater Escape and Evasion Adventure Race, scheduled to take place November 7th- 8th in Moyock, North Carolina.
Brought to you by Blackwater Extreme Racing and Don Mann Productions, the Blackwater E&E is unlike any other adventure race on the planet. This 24-hour race will test teams of two against one another as they run, mountain bike, paddle, swim, and climb their way across a challenging course designed to test them at every turn. Along the way, they’ll face the Blackwater obstacle course, the infamous SEAL team “log PT”, an optional orienteering course, and a few other surprises that could only come from Blackwater and the team behind Primal Quest, the “World’s Most Challenging Human Endurance Competition”.
The Blackwater Escape and Evasion adventure race is prefect for triathletes, endurance athletes, military personnel, police officers, firefighters, or anyone else looking to add a little adventure and challenge to their life. For more information and to register, go to http://blackwateree.com/.
