USARA has hosted a 30-hour National Championship Adventure Race since 2000, bringing together the top teams in the country to compete for the coveted championship trophy. The race location is different each year and is designed and directed in partnership with an accomplished local race-director and has evolved over the years to include Collegiate, Masters, All-Male, and All-Female divisions. Held in the fall, USARA Nationals has long served as a culmination of the racing season for the AR community and witnesses fierce competition but even fiercer camaraderie.
