Ripe for Racing! While Dirty Avocados Adventure Racing looks forward to 2010, we reflect on 2009. What a year it has been! We raced in New Hampshire's mountains at Untamed New England, in California's Sierras at Gold Rush Motherlode, and the world's biggest sand desert at the Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge. Wow! 2010 is already starting to take shape. An early highlight will be another epic adventure on the other side of world: Australia's XPD Expedition Adventure Race. We'll also be racing all of the local AR contests--especially those in the new Checkpoint Tracker Series. And long-term, we're looking forward to September's Desert Winds Expedition. Train hard, race harder, and be safe.

What is adventure racing? Adventure racing is a combination of two or more disciplines, including orienteering and navigation, cross-country running, mountain biking, paddling and climbing and related rope skills. An expedition event can span ten days or more while sprints can be completed in a matter of hours. Typically there is no “dark period” during races, regardless of their length – the choice when (and if) to rest is left to the competitors. Adventure racing is classically a co-ed team sport. Nonetheless, many races now permit "teams" of 1 to 5 persons, single-sex or co-ed, and sometimes include age-based categories. -Wikipedia
