The Red Bull Defiance is a two-day long adventure race held in the country that invented the sport – New Zealand. Over the course of those 48 hours, racers run, mountain bike, and paddle their way across some of the most rugged terrain imaginable, on a 142 km (88 mile) course designed to push them to the limits. As you’ll see in this video, it seems that that mission was accomplished. If you’re not familiar with adventure racing, this clip will certainly make a good introduction to the sport.
