USARA National Championship part of ARWS Regional Series

The United States Adventure Racing Association (USARA) and the Adventure Racing World Series (ARWS) are pleased to announce that the USARA National Championship will serve as an event in the ARWS North American Regional Series in 2024.


National Championship Volunteers Needed!

USARA is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to contribute to the success of our largest National Championship ever.  Adventure Addicts Racing is directing this year's race, headquartered out of Snowshoe Mountain Resort in West Virginia, from September 26 - 28, 2024. 

Volunteers are 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 you're interested, please reach out to Logistics Director Liz at liz@adventureaddictsracing.com.
