Adventure Races

The Fat Otter Franchise is rooted in Adventure Racing. Since 2001 Team Fat Otter has been participating in Adventure Races ranging from a few hours to multiple days in length. It was only logical that a solid foundation in racing be expanded to providing high quality events for others. We strive to host events of the highest quality at the best possible price. The vision became a reality as Fat Otter hosted the first annual Frozen Otter Ultra Trek in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. The response from participants and volunteers was phenomenal and we decided that we had found a unique place in the local racing community. Our offerings will continue to expand as we pursue a wider variety of events for all skill levels.

Training

It has always been our goal to make Adventure Racing available to everyone. We have seen people that wouldn't have seemed likely to compete in such an extreme sport experience a race start to finish and describe it as an experience of a lifetime. Through Adventure Racing Camps and skill specific training such as Adventure Racing Ropes and Navigation clinics, Fat Otter is devoted to enabling those who wish to pursue Adventure Racing as their sport of choice. As we expand our offerings to destination training events as well, new opportunities for survival training and eco-awareness have risen. Participants in our training events will leave feeling confident and enabled to tackle races of virtually any duration. Skilled racers and guides are also available for custom group training and clinics througout the country. Interested parties should contact custom@fatotter.com for more information.

Adventure Travel

The skilled guides at Fat Otter will take you on a trip of a lifetime! Whether you're looking for a leasurly weekend paddle trip to a hardcore week long backpacking trip, we have something for you. Our various trips incorporate rock climbing, mountain biking, backpacking, paddling, and more. In 2008 we decided to offer trips that we call 'destination training' trips. These provide a more difficult and rewarding experience to allow endurance athletes to augment their skills while enjoying incredible scenery and locations. Skilled guides are also available for custom group outings and clinics througout the world. Interested parties should contact custom@fatotter.com for more information.

Team Building

If you're interested in a Team Building outing, Fat Otter Adventure Sports has something for you. Whether you're looking for an afternoon on a ropes course, a weekend camping trip, or a week in the wilderness, we will put together a Team Builing outing that will reward your group with confidence and teamwork. A unique offering by Fat Otter Adventure Sports is what we call 'Extreme Evaluating'. We have the option to take the sideline as your group is challenged in a wilderness situation. We will 'secretly' report back and provide information on who each person handled a variety of situations. Who were the leaders and who were the followers. We can even take it one step further and be joined by a psychologist to assist in the evaluation. Interested parties should contact custom@fatotter.com for more information.
