AR School Set to Launch This Fall

When it comes to adventure racing, adaptability is key. AR School gives you access to world-class training, top competitors, and a community of athletes to help you level up. Progress can be slow—why waste time repeating mistakes or wondering which are the right tactics? AR School offers interactive courses, live streams, and group chats to sharpen the racer’s edge. Whether someone is a new racer overwhelmed by the sport's demands, a seasoned racer ready to level up, or an advocate who loves to see the sport grow, AR School equips racers with the confidence, skills, and community to fuel growth. AR School is launching soon. Join the top competitors and racers across the pack on the waitlist at thearschool.com.

USARA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

A few open spots remain for the championship race in Snowshoe, WV, Sept. 26-28. Register here and find additional information on the USARA Nationals website.

There are still TWO opportunities for mixed gender teams to win a FREE ENTRY at a Regional Qualifier. Check out the USARA calendar for those and other upcoming events.

Volunteers are also needed in a variety of roles and at different times from Wednesday (9/25) through Sunday (9/29), from folding t-shirts to checking in racers to staffing Transition Areas to collecting CPs after the race.

Volunteers will receive a race shirt, food, training, logistical support, and undying gratitude from race staff and teams. We also have a limited number of beds available in staff lodging for volunteers coming in from out of town.

If interested, reach out to Logistics Director Liz at liz@adventureaddictsracing.com.
