Get ready for AR before AR

Updated: Aug 1

A sport that is beyond endurance, globally recognized and termed as “World’s Toughest Team Sport” has made a strong impact on Indian Terrain and Athletes. From not having a single event to now hosting multiple sprints, 24+ hours to 48+ hours races from 10km to 300km races, the sport has evolved over a period of time.

As a community we are evolving and are here to support and prepare every athlete to experience and enjoy this beautiful sport.

Adventure Racing in India now requires a mandatory Pre-Requisite to be fulfilled before signing up for 24+ hours of Adventure Racing. This mandate is not applicable for SPRINT & PROMO Races. However, pre-requisite is focused on uplifting the confidence, building skill set, and making sure athletes are aware of the process and what it takes to be an adventure racer, physically and mentally.

As an organization, we are committed to building platforms, AR Clinics, Workshops, Training courses, bootcamps and sprint races from time to time at different locations.
