Fans of adventure racing will have yet another chance to catch a race on TV, provided you’re lucky enough to have Outside Television in your market. The network has announced that it will begin showing the video of the 2011 edition of the Wenger Patagonia Expedition Race on July 6th at 1 PM.
The video of the race has been garnering plenty of attention at adventure film festivals across the globe. It won the “Adventure Sport” category at the inaugural Killarney Adventure Film Festival, and is also a Finalist at the New Zealand Mountain Film Festival as well. Additionally, it was an Official Selection at the Breckenridge Festival of Film held a few weeks back too.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen the video, and I can attest to its quality. It is a fantastic film covering not only this particular race but also doing a good job of capturing the spirit of adventure racing in general. Considering the remote nature of Patagonia, and the unpredictable weather conditions there, it is remarkable that producer Brian Leitten was able to put together such comprehensive coverage of the event. You can watch the trailer for the video below to get a glimpse of what you can expect.
If you’re luck enough to have Outside TV, set your DVR’s for July 6th at 1 PM. You’ll be glad you did!

I went to Chile a few years ago and took one of the Patagonia tours down there. The scenery, people, and wildlife made this tour a trip of a lifetime. I hope i can get down there again !
I loved Chile when i was there. Always take pictures when you are there because the scenery is just absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite parts of the trip was when we took one of the patagonia tours they offer.
Awesome post! Me and my wife have been looking to do something different for a vacation,we're just tired of the same old thing. So after some discussion we decided on a Patagonia tour; so I went online to do some research on different packages and to price everything when I came across your blog about adventure racing. That video looks intense and it actually looks like fun. I'm going to look more into this because it looks like something me and wife can really get into, plus it will be fun to watch different videos before we take our trip!
