Never heard of it - have you been before and is it fun?

Always good to try something new

I'd like to and have tried to make it happen for a few years now. I've never been but have read lots of good feedback from the event. Plus it's only 30 mins from home!

I just read up, there's no wheeling, it's seminars and vendor's and a few contests. I'd still go though. There's a film contest

I thought there was light wheeling and challenges? More instructional type of stuff but that there was courses setup on the property.

I dunno, I looked at the schedule from last year they posted and I didn't see, or missed, any wheeling blocked out. Hmmm . I would think they would have some wheeling?!

I found this review
SWEATSTIVAL: Mid-Atlantic Overland Festival 2016

Also did some reading on Expedition Portal where I originally saw it posted. The owners have expanded the obstacle course on the 200 acre property. There are different challenges that can be entered in. Purple Lizard has maps and recommendations for folks that want to spend some time exploring some local trails in Rothrock State Forest. This is very close to Raystown Lake for those not familiar with the area. If you have young kids and want head down to the lake or water slides it will be close.
I think I'm going to go.
