We are TEAM RETCHING YAKS!
We are a group of friends and family who have come together to stay fit and have fun! Each of us has loved outdoor sports of all kinds for most of our lives! Now, adventure racing seems to fill the bill! We are a Masters team (all over 40) and our slogan is YAK ATTACK! (at least at the beginning of the race... After a few miles, it becomes FUN & FINISH!) (run your mouse over the pictures to see some REAL yakatude!)
