The African Adventure

"Endurance is also crucial, which is why some adventure racers also excel in individual sports, such as cycling and long-distance running. Jen Segger, a Squamish resident, is considered one of the best female adventure racers in the world. Her team, Dart-nuun, came sixth in the 2008 world championships in northern Brazil."

"The Adventure Company is offering Hands On Adventures in eight countries across Europe, Asia, Africa and Central America in 2009. The trips include seven family itineraries, some suitable for children as young as five, to inspire in children an interest in responsible tourism, foreign cultures and lifestyles."
