Holding true to HRA tradition the exact location of the BBB will be kept secret, however, we can tell you that it will be on the south side of Hampton Roads. Team Captains will be notified of the exact race start location one week prior to the race in the final Captains Communication.
Date and Time
Saturday September 12 to Sunday September 13th. Race Start at 5:30 pm on Saturday evening. Further details will be revealed in the Captain’s Communication.
Race Fee
Early registration is $110.00 per racer. Early registration ends August 23rd. After August 23rd registration will increase to $130.00 per racer and t-shirts are NOT likely to come your way! Registration closes August 30th.
Team Compositions
2, 3, or 4 person teams in the male, female, or coed categories. We feel true adventure racing consists of teamwork, however, due to popular demand we are allowing solos to compete in the Back Bay Blitz. Experienced adventure racers only will have the option to race solo. If interested in racing solo, prior approval is required. Please email Pam and Mike for solo approval AND registration. info@hradventure.com
