Wow! Twenty-five adventure races in May (listed on the trusty Adventure Race Hub). You can do two races per weekend and still miss a bunch of great races. I love seeing all these adventure races cropping up around the country. If only I had a plan to participate in more of them…
When I first started adventure racing 10 years ago, I thought I had stumbled onto this obscure sport that 100 people in the entire world participated in. Then I learned there was not one, but TWO national adventure race championships, AND an AR World Series that led to an AR World Championship. What?! My mind was blown.
Slowly the AR world began to open up to me. I found more races and more teams. I discovered that people of all ages were enjoying these races not for a few years, but years upon years. I look forward to opening this sport up to many others and share the love I have for it.
There are plenty of races lurking in your neck of the woods for any level of racer. Not racing “because you can’t find a race near you” is no longer an excuse. Enjoy this beautiful spring and get out there!
