Bushwhack Adventure Race Postponed!
Registration numbers were so low for this event that it became obvious that it needed to be rescheduled. We have officially postponed the BAR until a later date, in 2011. Hopefully we'll have a new date selected soon. Early thoughts are that we'll aim for a spring date. Visit the race website for more details. Registration for the the Bushwhack Adventure Race, will be handled through the Checkpoint Tracker website, so get your team signed up there (for free) now!

what is AR all about
What Is Adventure Racing?
Looking for a way to use all of your outdoor skills, be part of a team, exercise your body and your mind, and have lots of fun at the same time? Try Adventure Racing!
Although the "adventure" part of AR means you may find just about any activity in an adventure race, you'll usually find mountain biking, trekking and/or running, paddling or swimming, and navigation. Some race directors also throw in special team challenges, like climbing a rope ladder, solving puzzles, or throwing a tomahawk. The best part of AR is that you share all of the fun, challenges, and rewards with your teammates!
