The Transition: AR News and Updates
Friday, August 22, 2025
As soon as racers leave the start line for USARA Nationals on September 12th, The Course Reveal Podcast from the dARk Zone will post a course preview and interview with race staff.
This short podcast will give family, fans, and friends a full overview of the course, terrain, stages, transitions, and challenges that each team will face along the way. It is a great companion for everyone's dot-watching and at-home experience
