Sept. 19-24th, 2010
… after a full year of training for this event, Dave Adlard will be captaining “Team Adventure Sports Week” in the Elite category of the “Desert Winds Expedition Adventure Race” beginning September 19.
Dave and his three female teammates; Dr. Jeni McNeal from Eastern Washington University, Soledad Cristiano from Argentina, and Cynthia Miranda of Carlsbad California, will be traversing nearly 300 non-stop miles across the brutal Mojave desert on foot, mountain bike, canoe, rappeling/climbing, pack rafts and orienteering, carrying their own gear, food and water in what could be the most challenging and demanding event on earth this year… 50% of the teams are expected to not finish the race, which is expected to take the teams between 90 and 120 hours to complete.
Good luck!

really good info.. i m glad to find it….i must tell to my friends.. wish u luck for race..
This race has been a nightmare. No permits, no medical staff, and rangers intervened in the prologue (citing the RD), and zero communication for families of racers. For all we know they are all in jail…
That’s crazy! I guess this race won’t happen again next year…
Hi,
I’m Cynthia Miranda’s mom. I am really worried since I have not heard from them. If anyone knows anything about where the team is at this point, please, please let me know.
I pray that they are all hanging in there and will hear soon that they are well.
