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.
