Jitendra Choudhary 4/21/2018 9:45 AMEco-Challenge: The Expedition Race is a multi-day expedition length adventure race in which teams of four compete. It aired from April 1995 to April 2002.
Eco-Challenge was created in 1992 by Mark Burnett. Inspired by an Los Angeles Times article about Gerald Fusil’s Raid Gauloises adventure race in Costa Rica, Burnett formed a team and competed in two Raid Gauloises events. Although his teams did poorly, Burnett decided to create a similar race in North America. When the race went international, Burnett purchased the rights from Fusil and set out to make the Eco-Challenge the world’s premier adventure race.
Each team comprised a mandatory mix of both men and women, racing non-stop, 24 hours a day, over a rugged 300-mile (500km) course, participating in such disciplines as trekking, whitewater canoeing, horseback riding, sea kayaking, scuba diving, mountaineering, camelback riding, and mountain biking. Teams originally consisted of five members, but the team size was reduced to four members early in the event’s history.
The first Eco-Challenge was held on April 25, 1995 in the Utah desert and was held each year in a new locale until 2002. Burnett recently noted that he did not intend to hold another Eco-Challenge, but had considered selling the rights to it.[citation needed] In contrast, other expedition-length races, including Primal Quest and the infamous Patagonian Expedition Race continue to be held. -
Jitendra Choudhary 4/19/2018 2:43 PMThis is the MOST popular part of Sustainival. When you buy a Day Pass to Sustainival, on any day of the event, you will automatically be asked if you would like to participate in the Green Beast Eco Challenge! The entire event site is also a giant live-action playing field and you get to play! You and your friends will be let loose into an amazing race style competition where each person must find clues hidden throughout the midway (and on the rides) in order to complete your Green Beast puzzle. Win some of the many awesome prizes that are up for grabs. -

Jitendra Choudhary 4/15/2018 10:34 PMI have seen a number of different challenging races over the years but few are as wildly impressive as the Eco-Challenge. This was one of the most stunning and complex races that has ever been devised.While some races may have developed a name and a following based on their popular location, the Eco-Challenge is a race that has made a name for itself being one of the most arduous and difficult races to take part in. -

Jitendra Choudhary 4/15/2018 10:31 PMThe eco-challenge of Mr. Jitendra choudhary, a businessman, environmentalist, and community activist of San. Elito enjoys getting involved in sports and coming up with activities that can bring the community together. As a child he frequented the back lagoons of Ambergris Caye and grew to love these areas. As development began threatening these areas, it became clear that he needed a way to get people into to these lagoons so that they can begin to appreciate the beauty and importance of these areas. The eco-challenge was born. Mr. Arceo came up with the idea of a race that would take people through the lagoons and link them to the eastern shore of the island, showing the connectivity. The 42mile long kayak trail is divided into two days. The first day is all lagoons and mangrove channels, the second day takes kayakers along the beautiful Belize Barrier Reef. Kayakers get to spend the night inside the Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve. The Eco-challenge has now become an annual event for which the community looks forward to. Thanks !!!
