Go Multisport

The all-in-one resource and first handbook for multisport athletes with an introduction to the field of multisport and a look at how it came to be and what's next for the sport.

Are you ready to Go Multisport? You can run, you can paddle, you can SUP (stand up paddleboarde), you can swim, you can ski, you can climb, you can train, and you can bike. But how can you combine them all together? For ultra-like distances and days at a time? How about climbing, hiking, and packrafting all in one day?

Beyond traditional 5Ks and 10Ks and single sport extreme and endurance events, is the newly evolving field of multisport. Multisport events are usually self-designed and determined. These extreme athletes most often create their own events because they are the first to do these human-powered endurance challenges.

Some examples of multisport athletes include:

• Nathan Fa’avae: Winner of the Eco-Challenge World’s Toughest Race, and 7-time Adventure Racing World Champion
• Roman Dial: Combines biking and packrafts in the Alaskan backcountry; has made full-length traverses (upward of 700 miles) by foot, ski, pedal and paddle of the Brooks and Alaska Ranges
• Dave Cornthwaite: Adventurer who created Expedition 1000, a quest to take on 25 journeys, each one a minimum of 1000 miles, using a different way of non-motorized transport throughout the world
• Alastair Humphreys: A National Geographic Adventurer of the Year for his concept of microadventures, encouraging people to get outside, even in short bouts

Perfect for those who are seeking to do more--more challenge, more fun--this book provides a history, background, and empowering how-to. You will learn how to walk the edge of a radical new discipline. Also includes gear lists, sample race challenges, training secrets and more.
