ABOUT - PRIMAL QUEST

Ten days, non-stop in the extreme Montana wilderness – teams race with only a map & compass, their combined skills and sheer determination to see if they have what it takes to finish the 550 mile Expedition, known only as Primal Quest.

Each episode of Primal Quest – Montana follows a group of diverse teams through the grueling journey of rugged terrain, wild adventure and severe emotional highs and lows as they mountain bike, kayak, river board, fixed rope climb, free climb, rappell, run and trek the demanding landscape . Watch as defending Primal Quest Champions, team Nike, returning veteran team Merrell and newcomers, team Active Racing reveal their vulnerabilities, human spirit, and team commitment as they experience the raw physical and psychological suffering that the Primal Quest expedition demands. The question is not which team has what it takes to finish first and claim their portion of the $175,000 prize……the question is, which team will have what it takes to survive and finish at all?

About Primal Quest Montana
The 5th edition of the Primal Quest Expedition Adventure Race was hosted at Big Sky Resort, in south central Montana. Primal Quest is an environmentally friendly, ecologically aware, wilderness competition in which teams of world-class, endurance athletes journey across extreme terrain using only a map, a compass and combined team skills. Successfully navigating the 550- mile wilderness course required stamina, mental fortitude, selfless teamwork, inner spirit and absolute determination. In Primal Quest 2008, racers traveled nonstop for up 10 days using only non-motorized transportation such as mountain bikes, kayaks & river boards in addition to fixed rope climbing, free climbing, rappelling, running and trekking. The co-ed teams of four were required to travel together at all times and had to finish together with all team mates in order to be officially ranked. Over $175,000 in cash and prizes was awarded to the winners, and the top 10 teams won free or discounted entries into the 2009 Primal Quest race.
