2010 Races 
Our plans for 2010 include the following tentative - but we hope solid - dates.

August 22	La Bufadora
October 02	Otay Lakes
November 06	Equinox 12 Hour

Next race - La Bufadora August 22 - Registration now open (see below)

August 21-22
In August we will again have our annual race at La Bufadora in Mexico.  While we have no entry fee for this (or any of our races), this race will have a restricted number of entrants due to the logistics.  So if you are interested keep in touch.  The race will be the weekend of August 21-22 (free kayak clinic - with free use of kayaks on the Saturday, and use of the kayaks for the race Sunday).  This is a family friendly weekend and we have a niño race, first thing Sunday (0800).



Registration is now open. While we allow solo racers, to do the kayak you must be partner with someone for the kayak sectrion (because the kayaks are 2-person). If you have your own kayak please bring it. If you want to run as a larger team, be in multiples of 2. If you wish to run solo (and do not have your own kayak) and do not partner with another person you will not be able to do the kayak section and we will start you after the first few teams complete the kayak section. If you are on a 3 or 5 person team, the odd person will not do the kayak section.

The race may seem short (total distance ~30 km, ~18 mi) but will involve cross country and steep hills.



The race will start with a 5 km (~3 mi) kayak (and a short run).

Following the paddle you will bike to the transition area where you will leave the bikes and do an 8 km (~5 mi) hike, much of it without trails.

When you complete the hike you must then take all gear from the transition area and complete the bike section.  The total bike section is 16 km (~10 mi).

We estimate the winning time will be about 3 hours with most teams taking about 5 hours.

It is possible to do the entire race as a trek if you do not have a bike.

October -02
We have a race ready to go at Otay Lakes, and best time appears to be in October, after the summer heat.  It is a short race with very little elevation gain so great for beginners and your friends. Bike, Hike and Kayak.


November - 06
The fifth race we have planned will be about a 12 hour race it may go longer as we have lots of options.  It will involve multiple kayak, bike and hike.  No crews necessary.


NOTE:
As well as these races we sometimes put on navigation classes / AR orienteering races. We had one in January before part of the Rose Canyon / Miramar area was closed. We do have plans for other like events.  They are held in the evening and the wining time could be as low as 1½ hours, with a hike time of more like 3+ hours.  The idea is to just have some fun and learn to read a map.  Because of our location they kind-of gear themselves to San Diego folks.

As in all of Equinox’s races, you pay nothing, you win nothing, and you accept full responsibility for your actions.
