Wild&Co aims to keep race day schedules as consistent as possible across events, so teams know what to expect no matter where they race.

While venues and formats differ, the overall flow of each event remains familiar.

Any event-specific details, including exact times, locations, logistics and final instructions, will be confirmed in the Race Information Kit, released approximately one week prior to the event.

Below is a guide to the typical race day programs for each event format.

Bike Drop

Some events include a bike drop, which requires teams to leave their bikes at a designated location prior to the race.

If a bike drop is required, teams will be notified in the Race Information Kit, released approximately one week before the event. To maintain the integrity of the course, the exact bike drop location will be released before 6:00pm on the evening prior to race day.

Teams must ensure bikes are dropped within the specified time window and in accordance with the instructions provided.

  • Explore Series events are designed as fast-paced, single-day adventure races with a strong emphasis on navigation, teamwork and fun.
