Primal Quest

The race has been in existence since 2001 and has been successfully revived following the loss of adventure racer Nigel Aylott.

[2] Each team is required to carry a GPS monitoring device (without offering navigational assistance) which allows race organizers and spectators to track each team in real-time via the Internet on the Primal Quest website primalquest.org.

In 2003, the race moved to Lake Tahoe and 2004 featured a course on Orcas Island, in the State of Washington.

CBS broadcast highlights of the race in 2003 and 2004 with a full feature episodic series on OLN.

Primal Quest was the first expedition adventure race to be featured on major network television.
