Team of 4 (with one person being of opposite sex) will try to navigate thier way from control point to control point in a number of disciplines. Disciplines include: mountain biking, trekking, kayaking and orienteering. Adventure Race Croatia is somewhat different from most of the races in ARWS. Not to say that there is anything wrong with other races but we prefer to have shorter stages and more of them. ARC will typically have between 14 -17 stages and hike stages will rarely be over 40 km, bike stages over 100 km and kayak stages over 40 km. A lot of stages means a lot of transitions so you can think of transitions as a separate discipline because you can loose a lot of time in them if you are not organized, prepared and efficient. So don’t forget to train transitions too.
