The Hunger Games & Adventure Racing Concepts
by Rob Sutter
If there's one thing that can say about "The Hunger Games" books that I can't exactly say about many other mainstream titles, it's that it managed to keep my attention. I loved the utilization of action and while I may not be entirely focused on romance, I love the idea of drama in order to increase the tension of these games. There's also a great amount of athleticism that the participants have to utilize or else they may not survive. Adventure racing could take a few cues from the novels.
These books have lent themselves to great spaces where battles and events haven taken place, which made them perfect for adventure racing. There was so much in the way of battle in the books that I don't think the competitors knew just how much strength they had. Of course, speed was another aspect to consider since you never know when the opponents could join up and fight others as teams. The aspects of speed and endurance are some of the most vital when talking about events the likes of <a href="http://blog.spartanrace.com/fast-in-florida-danica-patrick-chicks-the-boys-heading-into-daytona-500/">Spartan Race</a>.
Katniss seemed to have the goal of staying out of <a href="https://twitter.com/SpartanRace/following/">sight</a> of those that she battled against. There were many trees within the wooded areas of the game field, which meant that she would be able to scale them like a woodland creature and stay hidden from just about everyone else. I think that the ability to climb should be focused more so by these races. If you set up walls which people would be required to scale up in order to proceed, the challenge would only be amplified.
"The Hunger Games" effectively captured the sense of franticness, which I think that these races could bring over as well. In the books, the tributes always seemed to be acting, never stopping as if they were safe. There wasn't exactly a point where people would be able to claim that it's safe to relax, so situations always would up becoming tense. The competitors of these races could act in the same way, not allowing even a moment to be wasted.
"The Hunger Games" is an interesting series based solely on the aspect of action, in which there is a lot. From battles to athletics, it's easy for readers to sit down and visualize what is occurring when reading through the text. The events are written well and it's an easy group of stories to read through as well, meaning that just about anyone can get into them. If you're talking about putting these athletic events into the real world, though, I don't know if the possibilities have any limits.
