Race Information
Teams
Teams are made up of 2 participants. Categories include, 911, Military and some reserved civilian teams.
To support the growth of AR in Alberta and to align with other AB-based events, our adventure races will now be teams of 2.
What's all included
First and foremost, we aim to create an event that will motivate you to experience future AR events with us. Participants will receive a team racer package, race maps, bike plate and runners bib, finish line snacks, draw prizes, first aid support and so much more.
Mandatory Gear
We know you're a mix between superhero and ninja already, but you do need to carry some mandatory gear. Mandatory gear for each individual racer (unless otherwise noted) to carry during the First Responders Adventure Race can be found in the Racer Guide and here (TBA).
Disciplines & Format
The First Responders Adventure Race will combine mountain biking, trekking/running, paddling and overland navigation in a 6-9 hour event.
FUNdraising
Ever Active Schools is near and dear to our hearts and we want to give back to them and support their incredible work in schools. If you can, rally your team and encourage those who can too, to donate to your Team Fund Raising Page on Race Roster. We've set a solid goal and with your support can make it! Teams will be given additional draw prize tickets for funds raised.
Racer Guide
The Racer Guide (TBA) will give participants an overview of the event and answer some more detailed questions you may have. While the guide is comprehensive, it does not have specific race instructions - these will be provided to teams on Race Day.
Registration
Registration will open soon.
Individual registration is $155/pp and a portion of your registration fee will go towards subsidizing teams in the Western Canadian Youth Adventure Racing Championship.
