An adventure run can last anywhere from a few hours to several days.
Essentially, they are destination runs, and they can be whatever you dream up.
My husband, Randy Whorton, and I have planned and run more adventure runs than I can remember. Most are close to home since Chattanooga is perfectly located for getting out into the woods, but sometimes we want to travel farther.
In 2007, our first trip to do the rim to rim to rim in the Grand Canyon was one of our most memorable adventures.
We met three friends and my father-in-law in Phoenix, Arizona. We were an experienced group of runners, and despite our histories on a variety of courses around the world, we all recognized that a run through the rugged desert with no support was a different animal altogether.
