Raid the Rock Adventure Race

12/18/2023

Hey Raid the Rockers! Some of you were brand new to the sport of adventure racing yesterday and I hope you had an amazing time!! If you are interested in learning and doing more of these races in the future, here are a couple of resources for you!

USARA - United States Adventure Association - https://www.usara.com/
They have a list of scheduled events, both USARA sanctioned ones and a crowd-sourced calendar of all kinds of events. Next year's Raid the Rock will likely be a USARA Championships Regional Qualifier, so stay tuned on that!

Some other regional race organizations/races:

Expedition Ozark (NWA)
Off Road Rage Adventure Racing (KS & MO)
Chisolm Trail AR (TX)
Too Cool Racing (TX & LA) https://toocoolracing.com/
Castlewood AR (St. Louis)
Berryman AR (MO)

Plus many more I'm likely forgetting at the moment, but check out their websites or FB pages for more information or to plan your race calendar for 2024! 😁

Adventure racing is a sport that changes lives for the better. We invite you to join us in our effort to show the many faces of adventure racing and all the gritty, exciting, adventurous and heartwarming experiences that keep us coming back for more.

Thank you to the CAREN folks that help us keep track of our participants each year...the adventure is fun, but safety is of the upmost importance...and our other volunteers that helped us make this event a success!

Hey, folks. I am very sorry for any frustration our registration is causing you!! I am limited on my webpage/tech skills and can not seem to figure out what the issue is…therefore, I will be moving registration to a different platform, RunSignUp. I hope to have it up and running by the weekend.

Thank you to those that haven’t lost patience just yet!
