The Accidental Extremist: Drambuie Pursuit '09

In early May 2009 TheAccidentalExtremist.com traveled to the Scottish Highlands to follow the Drambuie Pursuit, a one-of-a-kind, two-day, nine-stage adventure race open to teams of amateur athletes from around the world. Hundreds of weekend warriors applied, but only 13 four-person teams made the cut. Among the racers were dot-com desk jockeys, landscapers, and even an online poker player. There were also hard-core adventure racers ready for serious battle. Some of them weren't exactly prepared for the experience that ensued. But that didn't stop them from going all out — and having a great time. We did, too.
