New York Urban Adventure Race | High Trek Adventure

HTA New York City Wrap-up

High Trek Adventure returned to New York City for its 3rd annual High Trek Adventure and thrilled 182 urban adventure races. Two of our racers ended up in an African embassy, many dressed up in wild costumes (especially Team Harmonica, they actually had harmonicas on their wrists!) and raced all over the Village and Midtown.
