2024 National Championship Registration

After the incredible level of interest in the 2023 National Championship race, USARA will be changing the registration/qualification process for the 2024 race to a system that we anticipate to use for the foreseeable future.

Registration for the USARA National Championship race will be prioritized based on the final standings in the National Points Series for the season prior to the season of the National Championship race. There are guaranteed entries determined by ranking. Check out the USARA Nationals Championship Registration Process page for more details.

Registration is OPEN for one of the premiere adventure races in the country. Always on the cutting edge, Adventure Enablers have added a new—and controversial—wrinkle: allowing GPS devices during the race. Besides the obvious question of being able to watch your own dot in real time, many racers want to know if the race will count in the USARA National Point Series Standings. We have the answer right here.
