ADVENTURE RACING TRAINING COURSES

Adventure racing can be an intimidating undertaking for a first time competitor and an endless education process for those that are committed to it. Many racers learn the sport the hard way - show up at their first race horribly under-prepared and overwhelmed by it and then pick up lessons by dissecting their mistakes after the event. Our adventure racing training programs are designed to give you a big head start in the sport or to give you hands-on practical ways to improve your performance. From years of competition as well as watching the development of teams in the Raid the North series, our instructors have developed lessons and techniques to help you find success in adventure racing.
