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.

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.
