Race Description:

This year the Break Up will be held in the Little Apple! Manhattan, KS!Join us for the LONGEST running Midwest Adventure Race!

​This race was not named after your relationship status, but appropriately named after the spring thaw in Alaska! This race brings everyone out after hibernation to hang out with friends (and Mother Nature)! Adventure Racing is known for being a team sport, so grab some friends and come race. 

The ARWS North America course is the 12 hour course,which will challenge all endurance racers. The race will have mostly experienced racers, but we have newbies every year that do just fine on the 12 hour courses!  There will also be a 6 hour race and a fun, family friendly 2 hour course.

For the 12 hour race a mountain bike is required. (ebikes are allowed, they will have their own division)  Mileage: 45+ bike, 10-13 running/walking/trekking, NO CANOE/KAYAK this year (we've been frostbitten one too many years now. It never fails...the lake is either still frozen, or it's dangerous to put boats on the water....so to ensure that we have gorgeous weather this year, we've chosen to eliminate the canoe/kayak section) 

Maps will be a MIX of pre-plotted and points that need to be plotted on topographic, 1:24k scale. UTM plotting tool will be required.
