Is It Possible To Televise Adventure Racing Events?

By Rob Sutter


Many individuals take part in adventure racing and there are reasons for this. Like any physical event that calls for a great deal of energy, people seem to love the feeling of adrenaline coursing through their bodies. Only then can they go about the actions they always want to and not care about whatever limitations that their bodies may have. It certainly sounds like a strong premise but is it one that could potentially make its way onto television on a basis which is more prominent?

Sports, on a more encompassing basis, are going to fulfill many different interests. For example, golf on television is not something that I would consider exciting. I'm not putting down anyone who enjoys it but it's simply not for me because it's not the kind of activity that I'd call thrilling. However, I know that each activity has an audience, so I cannot say that no one in the world is a spectator to it and this goes for just about any other physical event, too.

The reason why so many physically able people watch sports is to kick up on how technique is being done. Wrestlers are a great example to cite, since they constantly watch tapes and study how various types of workers go in the ring. They know how each move is executed and they have a better understanding of their in-ring styles as well. Not only do these events serve as means of entertainment but ways to study for competitions to be far off into the future.

That being said, is it possible that adventure racing can find itself coming onto television as well? I can only imagine just how great this would be on all parties which would be involved on the matter. First off, it would be able to grant such names as Spartan Race even more visibility since many individuals would watch. In addition, it could help those who are competing gain attention as well, which can only bolster the reasons to go about competition of this caliber time and time again.

With so many participants in adventure racing in the past, how often has the subject of television come about? I think that these are some of the most exciting, not to mention adrenaline-pumping, sports in the world and it's hard for me to argue with such a sentiment. Shouldn't more people watch it, if this is the case? It's hard to predict whether or not it will be able to make its way to television but I'd like to think it possesses a great deal of heart.
