The Primal Quest Expedition Adventure Race presented by SPOT and the Rush HD television network are proud to announce that they have entered into a three-year television license agreement to broadcast the race in both North America and Worldwide territories. Voom Networks/Rush HD will air four original episodes in High Definition,.

Primal Quest is "the World's Most Challenging Human Endurance Competition" and has been called "the Superbowl of Adventure Racing" by Sports Illustrated. This year's edition will take place in the back country of Montana where the top teams in the world will trek, mountain bike, and paddle their way across a 500-mile course with over 100,000 feet of elevation gain. Top endurance athletes from around the globe will compete for more than $175,000 in cash and prizes over ten days of grueling competition.

Voom/Rush HD is a division of Rainbow Media Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Cablevision Systems Corporation, which has been an innovator in television programming and entertainment for 28 years.
