NORTH AMERICA
SERIES

If you finish the full course - you'll become a LEGEND in the world of AR. But even to toe the line and cross the finish line under your own power is legendary in our book. This is America's Toughest Race.

This year is the 10th Anniversary Rib Mountain Adventure Challenge which takes teams into the rugged and beautiful Central Wisconsin wilderness using only a map and compass to find the way. 

12-hour race: ARWS-NA and USARA points race. Teams of 1-4 navigate with map/compass to find pre-plotted checkpoints while trekking/running, mountain biking, and paddling. 3/4-person mixed gender division.

Genesis offers 6 and 12 hour races. While these are geared toward beginner racers (simple navigation), we often have seasoned teams competing for their training. The races are in the beautiful Colorado mountains and offer a great way to kick of the racing season.

We are beyond excited for what we have in store for the 2025 Ogre! We are taking our racers west into some lesser known mountain ranges—mountain ranges that, if you can believe it, we love even more than the Tetons! This area has high peaks, desolate valleys, and layers upon layers of incredible history, including 10,000 year old pictographs and ghost mining towns from the 1890s. Racers can expect rugged terrain with loads of elevation gain and spectacular views that might even stop the fastest teams in their tracks in order to take it in.

Now in its third edition, the 2025 Endless Mountains Adventure Race is heading north to the Green Mountain State! Over seven days, teams will get to explore the full expanse of what Vermont has to offer: rolling mountains, lush forests, majestic waterways, iconic gravel, and twisty single track on a course that calls to mind the Untamed New England expeditions of years past and pairs it with the classic Rootstock flair that you have come to expect from Endless: rewarding checkpoints, a close-knit community feel, and some of the most challenging navigation and route choice on the ARWS circuit.

Join us for the 2nd year running of the Midwest Championship Adventure Race. Location will be announced at the beginning of 2025. This race will have 6 and 24 hour options. Registration is limited, this race will sell out.

The Pocket Gopher Extreme 48 will be insane this year! The PGE is both an ARWS North America Regional Race and a USARA national qualifier for 2025 and that is just the beginning. This year we are taking the PGE to extremely new heights with a 48hr expedition style race that is sure to challenge any team. If you have ever wanted to try an expedition race but have been afraid to try this is the race for you.

The thirty-hour event, supported by the Canadian Adventure Racing Association (CARA), will serve as the 2025 ARWS North American Championship

"The race will officially start on Saturday at 9:00am and the course will close 25hrs later.

There will be no planned 'dark zones'. You will need to manage your time. There will be mandatory, optional, and advanced CPs at RTP25. If you need sleep, go for it, but it will be on the clock. You will need a mountain bike (min. front shock). I will supply the canoes, you will supply your own paddle gear. All teams will be ranked equally, but prizing will favour coed teams of four.
Remember: You don't truly know your potential until you test your limits."

"In 2025 The Longest Day Will be returning to the Adirondack Mountains of New York. This will be a 24 hour event held in the heart of one of the largest parks in the US. Teams of 2 - 4 will experience world class single track mountain biking, incredible navigation through forests and over mountains, and canoeing through wild rivers.

This race is built to challenge the toughest adventure racers but also give new folks the chance to experience a longer race format. On this course many of the checkpoints will be optional with a fewer number of mandatory points to make sure that everyone gets across the finish line together.
