It's like summer camp for adventure athletes! Next month in Bend, Ore., the YogaSlackers group will host an Adventure Race Training Camp.

Our inaugural "Gear Junkie Challenge" urban adventure race put 13 teams against a run-bike-climb course through the city. Photographer Paul Vincent captured the action.

The Patagonian Expedition Race, held in southern Chile, is one of the world's most death-defying organized sporting events. A 10-day wilderness immersion, the race pits teams against a 700KM course with mountains, fjords, rivers, and swamps as far as the eye can see.

This heli-captured photo by Justin Lotak shows a slice of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in Chile. Look closer and you'll see two teams, eight miniature racers making headway across the crevasse-laden expanse.

Over the course of 10 days of continuous adventure racing through 700km of Patagonian wilderness, Team GearJunkie–YogaSlackers flat-out suffered. Hard. This video and race report from the team of last week’s Patagonian Expedition Race is painful to watch and hard to read.

Our adventure racing team, GearJunkie/YogaSlackers, crossed the finish line in Chile today. By all accounts, the Patagonian Expedition Race this year -- our team's fourth running of the event in Chile -- was the longest and most difficult to date.

Look deep into these eyes -- this is a gaze rarely seen, exhaustion mixed with the thrill of winning a race few human beings can even contemplate making it through.

The Patagonian Expedition Race kicked off six days ago. Teams biked through a night and then put crampons on to trek into the vast ice fields of southern Chile. Navigation into white-wall valleys ensued, including crevasse leaps and miles of travel through otherworldly terrain.

After podium finishes at the Patagonian Expedition Race in southern Chile the past two years, Team GearJunkie/YogaSlackers is setting sights on First Place. But the competition -- not to mention the wilderness terrain -- is daunting as they head into the fray.
