The Race Season is Just Beginning

In most years the season would be mostly over but for our team, the hardest part of the season is just beginning. It seems that the adventure racing calender is stacked toward the spring and fall. This year our team is focusing on longer expedition races and domestic 24hrs races. Yet to come is the cumulation of those races. Including the World Championships, the US Championships, and a few more Checkpoint Tracker Series races.





Specifically our confirmed schedule looks like this:

Big Blue Kit Carson September 13th - Checkpoint Tracker Series 24hr race

Xstream Expedition September 25th - Checkpoint Tracker Series 3 day race

Upstate Adventure Race October 25th - Checkpoint Tracker Series 24hr race


The Kit Carson race is happening at Beautiful Lake Tahoe. The venue is gorgeous with paddling on the lake and riding on the legendary flume trail. Adventure Xstream takes place in Moab and should also provide some unbelievable riding, running and paddling. The competition will be stiff at this race and we are looking forward to facing off against the best in the Rockies. Our final Race in the CP Tracker Series will be the Upstate Adventure Race in South Carolina. This race has many attributes that make it an ideal race. It fits nicely into our schedule, has great prizing, is part of the series, broadens our exposure around the US, and is very close to nationals.



We won our entry to Worlds at the Baja Travesia. We have raced Eco Motion the past two years and look forward to getting down to Brazil and going up against the best in the world. At the same time we will field a team to compete in the USARA Championships. Last year we had a dissapointing third place off of a navigation error and hope to redeem ourselves this year.







We've had a great summer of racing and training. It seems that every weekend that we are not racing we are out exploring in the mountains and sound on foot, bike or in boat. The snow has finally melted out are we a constantly searching for a new epics. If your travels bring you to Washington be sure to look us up and we will show you our playground. And don't forget to have a look at out Gear Review Blog for all the equipment we use while out on the trail or water.
