Race Description:

The first Junior Adventure Racing World Championship aims to encourage a new generation of adventure racers and recognise the best young adventure athletes in the world.

Teams of two in both U18 & U25 categories will race a spectacular regional youth prologue, followed by two days of multisport adventure incorporating trail running, mountain biking, canoeing, swimming, ropes climbing, and map and compass navigation. There will be an overnight camp in a remote location between the two days of racing amongst the lakes and forests of Temiscamingue.

Raid Temiscamingue in Quebec, Canada will be the event hosts for the first two championship races. The two day stage race is an established international event, with a track record of hosting youth prologues and is organised by Endurance Aventure with the support of the Témiscamingue Development and SADC Society and the Témiscamingue MRC.

National teams will be selected by IARA members and there are also places available for open entry.

The event will have international TV distribution and the media spotlight will be on the young racers competing to be the first ever Junior Adventure Racing World Champions.
