Adventure racing is an exciting team-based sport that combines trail running (trekking), mountain biking, kayaking, and navigation. You and your teammate use a map and compass—no GPS or course markings—to locate checkpoints and complete the course. It’s the ultimate outdoor challenge, packed into a fun and achievable format.
Unlike traditional races, there’s no set path—you choose your route between checkpoints. Whether you're fast and competitive or just out for a unique experience, an adventure race is a great way to explore nature, test your limits, and work as a team.
