Participants learn some of the finer points of wilderness travel and survival.
Among the skills to be used during the adventure run are natural fire building, land navigation, orienteering, wilderness medicine and edible plant identification. The first day will be spent learning these skills, with instruction from Dorsch. Hiking, rope training, archery, unique terrain and mystery events will add to the adventure, Dorsch said. Participants ages 12 and up may run solo, but teams of two to four are recommended. Afterwards there will be a victory feast and prizes.
