Who We Are

Our team of core-contributors have several decades of combined adventure racing and race directing experience. Expedition races, multi-week bikepacking trips, long-distance backpacking and packrafting. We love it all… and have learnt a few things to share along the way.

about How To Adventure Race

This project has been building a while. 

As Race Directors, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t – from how the top teams successfully operate, to what makes first time racers never return to the sport. 

As avid racers, we’ve gained hard-earned experience.

We’d like to share this with our AR community. Learn lots… race better… have more fun!
