INTRODUCTION Extreme contexts are often defined as settings where extreme events may occur and exceed an organization's capacity to prevent harm, leading to significant physical, psychological, or material consequences (Hannah et al., 2009). Extreme contexts are typically characterized by unexpected material and environmental conditions, the physical presence of heterogeneous actors, and intense time pressures.

Abstract In this inductive study we explore the relational microdynamics of organizational resilience in adventure racing. Drawing from an organizing lens, we frame resilience as an ongoing process by which organizational actors work together to absorb strain and maintain functioning within dynamically uncertain and adverse environments. Adventure racing exemplifies such a context: stress, technological breakdowns, and untoward environmental conditions are both frequent and unpredictable.
