2027 USARA National Championship

The 2027 USARA National Championship will be held from Oct. 22-23 in Virginia.

Broad Run Off Road will be the host and word is they are already out and scouting.

The flyover from the 2026 Fall Foliage Adventure Race might give you a sense of what Allen Wagner and the team can dream up.

One note is that the race will use canoes for the paddle and consist of 3-person teams.

Let the countdown begin!


Coastal Traverse Adventure Race Rescheduled Date Announced

The Delmarva Adventure Sports Coastal Traverse Adventure Race has been rescheduled for April 3, 2027.

The Delaware adventure race was postponed in September due to coastal flooding. The 12-hour beach themed adventure race will challenge teams and solo racers alike to navigate a coastal landscape by bike, foot, and paddle, linking wildlife refuges, state parks, beaches, tidal marshes, and vibrant coastal towns.

Registration for the event is open.
