North Dakota Endurance Drone Race
WELCOME!
Welcome to the ultimate drone endurance race across the beautiful state of North Dakota!

Then grab your remote control and join us on this exciting journey!
Our race will begin in Grand Forks, ND, where participants will gather for the kickoff ceremony. Each contestant will be given a medical payload of 8 oz., which they must safely transport to Williston, ND, without any damage or delay. The payload will represent a life-saving medical supply, and the winner of this race will not only take home the grand prize of $10,000 but also receive recognition for their outstanding performance in aiding emergency medical services.
The racecourse will take our contestants through the stunning landscape of North Dakota, from the rolling hills and prairies of the east to the rugged terrain of the west. The total distance of the race is approximately 200 miles, and contestants will have to navigate through a series of checkpoints along the way.
The race will take place over the course of three days, with each day representing a different leg of the journey. On the first day, contestants will fly their drones from Grand Forks to Devils Lake, ND, covering a distance of approximately 70 miles. The second day will see contestants travel from Devils Lake to Minot, ND, covering an additional 70 miles. Finally, on the third day, contestants will complete the final leg of the race, flying from Minot to Williston, ND, and covering the remaining 60 miles of the course.
Contestants will have to be strategic in their planning, as they will need to make sure their drones are charged and capable of handling the long distances of the race. They will also need to monitor their drone's performance closely and make any necessary repairs or replacements along the way. The drone's endurance will be tested as it will have to withstand adverse weather conditions such as winds, rain and snow. The winner of this race will not only be the fastest but also the one who can manage their drone's endurance.
Throughout the race, our contestants will have to deal with various obstacles, such as obstacles like buildings and powerlines, as well as unexpected weather conditions. But those who make it to the finish line will be rewarded with a prize of $10,000 and the satisfaction of knowing that they've helped to ensure medical supplies reach those who need them most.
