Primal Quest Returns in 2008


-- Primal Quest, the crown jewel of adventure racing, will
return to an undisclosed US location in the Spring of 2008.

In 2006, Primal Quest Utah featured 360 of the worlds best adventure athletes
covering 500 miles of the most brutal and unforgiving terrain in North America.
During the 10-day event, ABC Sports / ESPN2 covered the 90 co-ed teams as they
pushed the limits of physical and mental endurance in an attempt to reach the finish
line of the most grueling multi-sport race in existence.

The 2008 Primal Quest will feature new leadership, as PQ2006 Race Director Don Mann
takes over the position of Chief Executive Officer through a licensing agreement
with founder Denise Watkins, the managing partner of Primal Quest LLC.

"We're thrilled that Don has taken the lead to produce Primal Quest into the
future," Watkins said. "He brings with him not only the deepest adventure racing
knowledge available, but a huge fan base among adventure racing participants who
respect his talent as a proven director. I have no doubt that Don will be able to
build upon the Primal Quest legacy and create another unique experience for our
athletes in 2008.\"

"I am honored to have the opportunity to manage Primal Quest in 2008 and beyond,"
Mann stated. "We're dedicated to producing the same quality event for which Primal
Quest is so well known - this is the greatest race in the world."

Mann, who has staged more multi-day, multi-sport races than any other individual in
the world, will continue to manage the event, bringing with him an experienced team;
from discipline directors, logistics coordinators, medical staff and ropes crew to
marketing and volunteer personnel. Mann's wife, Dawn Taylor-Mann, will fulfill the
role of Operations Manager, as she has done in nearly 100 adventure races, including
Primal Quest, Expedition BVI, and the USARA Championships.

Known for its epic length and staggering difficulty, Primal Quest is currently in
planning mode for the 2008 edition as Mann "chooses from a variety of potential
racing locations with a wide range of geographic challenges."

The first date that registrations will be accepted is July 1, 2007. For continual
