![]() Kuenster: GODZone was a true expedition race in the spirit of the old-school adventure races. Some sections of the course were measured in days and not hours. You were very much on your own in the wilderness and waterways and you had to look out for your safety as well as you ability to complete the course quickly. In the case of GODzone, it had a true “Expedition” feel, which also referred to the difficulty of the task at hand. Harte: GODZone is an “Expedition” race, which typically refers to the length of time or days in which you will be racing. TM: What is the GODzone adventure race like? Stephanie Green: I’m a newer addition to the team! We placed first in the money category in the 2017 San Luis Obispo Dawn to Dusk adventure race. Since then we have continued to notch showings at international expedition races as well as local shorter races. Tim Kuenster: The NorCal team name originated in 2014 when we went to do our third trip to do the Patagonian Expedition Race. Eventually a group of us from work decided to enter a 24-hour race and it was all of our first time racing. It took many years before I would race myself, but I never lost sight of the dream to adventure race. The Manual: How did the NorCal Team start?Ĭanice Harte: I first became aware of adventure racing watching the ECO Challenge and was instantly hooked. At the end we get into some recommendations for solid gear to start with. Team members Canice Harte, Tim Kuenster, Andrew Peterson, and Stephanie Green took some time away from training for the Expedition Oregon adventure race to answer a few questions. We caught up with Team NorCal just after they finished the GODZone adventure race in New Zealand, one of the hardest adventure races in the world.
