Seven Team Spots Open For Nationals

Thanks to the cooperation and efforts of our partners, we've been able to source the gear necessary to expand our field limit to 95 teams, and currently have SEVEN spots open for the 2024 USARA National Championships in Snowshoe, WV, Sept. 26-28.

We're excited to be welcoming a record number of teams to Nationals in 2024!  Additional information and registration link on the USARA Nationals website.  And don't forget there are still THREE 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.
