April 14, 2005 “” Red Bull Divide & Conquer returns for its second year to Durango, CO. The race is an open competition featuring four-person relay teams dividing efforts by specialty to conquer rigorous trail running, paragliding, kayaking and mountain biking courses along the most merciless terrain of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. A maximum of 50 teams will vie for the US$17,500 prize purse and an all-expense paid trip to Austria to compete in the legendary Dolomitenmann race.

Male and/or female outdoor athletes who specialize in trail running, paragliding, kayaking or mountain biking are invited to register.

Individuals interested in creating or joining a team should visit the “athletes seeking teams” page on www.redbulldivideandconquer.com or contact Patrick Harper at pharper@ctcweb.net.

Pre-established teams of four may register online at www.redbulldivideandconquer.com or email Patrick Harper at pharper@ctcweb.net.

It should be noted that each leg of the race consists of rugged terrain, temperamental weather, and dizzying altitudes that will test skill, stamina and determination. In order to assure a safe field for everyone, a “voucher” system will be employed. All entrants must provide a credible person who can vouch for their abilities to conquer the proposed terrain, and will be subject to final approval to race by a selection committee.

Online registration closes 11:59 pm on June 17, 2005. Early registration is encouraged.

Race starts at sunrise on June 18, 2005.
