The FIG
XXII = 22 We’re not sure why this race uses Roman Numerals, but it’s the longest running Adventure Race in Kentucky (and one of the longest running ARs in the US) – so lets not mess with things. Legacy.
We’ve been doing this no frills race mentality to keep costs low and feedback high, so we’re sticking with that same mindset for this year. Hope you like it. Hope you join us this Fall.
Race Facts
WHAT: The FIG Adventure Race
LENGTH: 12 Hours
DISCIPLINES: NAVIGATING | BIKING | TREKKING | PADDLING
WHERE: Somewhere aroundish the Red River Gorge
WHEN: November 2, 2024
WHO: Solos or Teams
THE COURSE: You’ll be navigating to checkpoints along the course, by foot, bike and boat. Our courses are generally too big and favor decision making.
Listening to our racer’s feedback, we try and keep costs stupid low ($110) and exclude the frills (shirts, perfumes, trinkets, etc). As always, you’ll get a well-run race, waterproof maps, perfectly placed checkpoints and a legit AR experience. We’ll try and have a food truck at the Finish if it works out.
[Registration Opens late Spring]

FAQ
I’m going to be hungry after the race, say?
∇ Hopefully, you’ll have a hot post race meal waiting on you thanks to Hop’s! We’re working on the details.
Hey man, where should I stay?
∇ We’ll let you know a few options once the S/F is finalized.
I’m new to adventure racing. Help.
∇ That’s not really a question, but checkout this page from USARA, How to Get Started in Adventure Racing. It has great info and links to additional resources. Then get ready to be transformed by the sport of AR.
Can I rent a boat?
∇ Absolutely. Price and availability is listed in the registration page.
Can I bring my own boat?
∇ Absolutely. Staff will be camped at the put-in to watch everything. More on this when we release the Racer Communication.
There’s not much on your website about how this thang is going to go. Can you tell me the distances of each discipline, if there’s Gatorade ™️ stops, when we’ll be on the water… I really just have lots of questions and concerns.
∇ Embrace the unknown. We’ll send a Racer Communication the week before the start with the things we’d like you to know. Otherwise, train up & show up Saturday morning. Have a fun time finding checkpoints in the woods. Simple.
