​Race director: ALL OUT EVENTS

For twenty years, the annual USARA Adventure Race National Championship has seen some of the best teams from across the nation come together to compete in a non-stop, 30-hour adventure race. Many of these teams have to push the boundaries of human endurance and teamwork just to finish. Winning requires extreme willpower, mastery across disciplines, and usually a little bit of luck. 

When the race ends, teams come together for an evening banquet, where we announce the national champions, crown the winners of the national points series, and celebrate the amazing adventure racing community. 
The race brief is accessible through the button above. Rather than a series of emails, we will update that document with clarifications and additional information as needed. We will notify all participants via email any time an update is made.
​Registration is now LIVE for all teams!

At this time only ONE person from each team must register, create a new team, and pay the deposit in order to reserve you spot.
If additional teammates wish to register they should "Join a Team" so that they are not charged at this time.

      • Finish Line, (as well as happy hour and awards ceremony) location: Bishop City Park
    • Travel
      • Airport - LAX - We recommend you fly into LAX even though it's not the closest airport to Bishop. It's generally a little easier (and maybe cheaper) to get to, and more importantly, if we have to go with our alternate location on Catalina Island, then you'll want to be flying into LAX. If you book tickets to an alternate airport for any reason, we highly suggest you book a refundable ticket!
      • Shuttle - We plan to make a shuttle available from LAX to Bishop. If you are interested, please fill out this form. We need commitments on the shuttle option to determine what equipment to use. We will keep this as affordable as possible but with general prices in CA being higher and fuel prices higher still, it will not be as inexpensive as we had originally hoped. We will cap the price at $100/racer round trip. The shuttle will most likely leave Thursday morning for Bishop. This will require you to fly into LAX Wednesday night, most likely. The shuttle will most likely be returning to LAX early Sunday morning. We realize the timing on flights relative to the shuttle may be tricky so please email us at info@usara.com with questions.
    • Lodging
      • We have discounts set up for three nearby hotels. The details are below. Please note that you must always contact the hotel directly to get the discounted rate.
      • Keep in mind that the central location for all activities will be the Bishop City Park. There are other hotels that might be a little closer to the park that you might want to consider. Creekside is a great option.
