A bike, trek, and paddle wilderness navigation event for teams of 2-4 (working together) or soloists. The Wild Driftless is a 9-hour time limit while the Wild Driftless Lite is 5 hours.
Teams may only use a compass and provided maps to collect as many optional checkpoints as possible within the time limit.
The bike portion of the race is open to mountain bike or gravel bikes with mostly gravel roads and trails plus a small amount of technical single-track.
The Wild Driftless is the only USARA-sanctioned race in Iowa and we are a proud member of the Wisconsin Adventure Racing Series.
