In March 2008, Mary Maul, Bobby Harrison, Jason Snell and John Porter attended Camp Xstream presented by Team Salomon Crested Butte and Boulder Performance Network.  The camp provides professional instruction and the opportunity to practice various adventure racing skills including mountain biking, trail running/treking, orienteering, paddling, fixed ropes mountaineering as well as wilderness first aid.

As participants in the 2008 edition of Primal Quest to be held in Montana, each team member is required to obtain certifications from a qualified instructor in the various disciplines and skills that are necessary to to compete in “The World’s Most Challenging Human Endurance Event”.  Although there are a lot of inherent dangers in the sport of adventure racing, a skilled adventure athlete is more likely to complete a race course without serious injury.  As a result, Primal Quest race management emphasizes safety skills in each of the race disciplines as well as first aid.
