The Survival Trial is not your average outdoor adventure race. Competitors spend 24 hours in the backcountry of northern New Mexico racing to complete various challenges, from fire-starting to defensive firearm engagements. With only a compass and map, they must navigate an 80-square-mile “arena” to find and finish these survival scenarios. Watch to get an inside look at this wild race and find out why it's billed as the ultimate survival test.
