The chosen sample corresponds to the population participa-ting in L.E.D.A 2004 by selecting four challenges. The technique used to obtain the data sample is the survey and the applied questionnaire our working tool, while briefing before each competition. The work design is no experimental, descriptive and seccional. For the correlation of variables we have used the Spearman rho-parameter and Crombach alpha-parameter. To obtain the results we have applied to our variables descriptive statistics. As a result we found that the profile corresponds with a recreative or amateur sportwoman competing at national and local level arond 2-5 times a year, forming groups with friends. She takes part for fun, improve social relation and for the sake of competition, being ATB the favourite discipline and the most practised: orientation and trekking with ATB as well. Training is daily practised in all places, being all disciplines trained indoor and outdoor with a preparation time for the raid from 2 weeks up to one month
