Welcome to the Adventure Racing Rookie Arena
Whether you are preparing for your first adventure race or working to improve your adventure racing skills, there are many resources to help you.
Adventure racing requires physical training, skill development and race preparation.
The level of required fitness, amount (and quality) of gear and level of planning depends primarily on the type of race being attempted.
If you are new to adventure racing, "Intro to AR" provides an overview of adventure racing, its history and its most famous races. "AR Gear" provides some thoughts on gear that can make your adventure race easier. "Planning" can be the most critical aspect of longer adventure races -- we have included some strategies that have worked for us. Information on each of the primary disciplines of adventure racing is also provided.
If you live in Northern California, please join us for a training event. We hold several events each week, typically free of charge an open to people of all abilities and ambitions. Email us for details.
