Hey "selfie generation", get outside to see more of Arizona

"We are seeing more and more interest in the outdoors by young people," said Sue Black, Executive Director of Arizona State Parks and Trails. "We are thrilled to partner with Outdoor Adventure Quest on this fun and innovative event. Combining technology with outdoor adventure to get more people out in the parks and throughout Arizona, it's a great concept."

Outdoor Adventure Quest Founder, Lindsey Beres said, "The outdoor racing market has long been saturated with obstacle courses and standard race formats for some time. Outdoor Adventure Quest was born from a desire to create something unique and engaging for the general outdoor enthusiast living anywhere in a state, metro or mountain town! Rather than shunning technology in the outdoors, the millennials that join our Quest embrace the technology that allows them to go new places and try new activities."

Outdoor Adventure Quest is a three-day multisport, build-your-own adventure challenge. A digital event powered by an app that spans one state, three days, twelve outdoor sport disciplines and over 500 challenge tasks with varying points assigned to each. Participants can monitor just how impressive or lackluster they are with a live in-app scoreboard that shows the scores of teams all over the state. Teams compete to win 4 different ways and for oodles of cool gear from our sponsors. Visit www.outdooradventurequest.com for more details.
