The NORCAL AR Series was created in response to the growing demand from Bay Area athletes looking for more, high quality events
to participate. Our goal is to make each event fun, challenging and minimize
the typical "AR hassles" - like providing a support crew.

Again in 2010 we’ve got 8 events at 4 different race venues. Event options range from 4hr Sprint courses for beginners to 9-10hr events and a full-blown
24-36 hour finale event for more experienced teams.

Event Preview

2 different challenge courses to choose from:

- A fast 4-6hr course for those looking for a quick run, bike, and paddle. Course is designed for beginner to intermediate racers with very easy navigation. Fast, fun course. Equal mix of disciplines.

- A 24+hr kick-butt course for more experienced participants. Anticipate approximately 8hrs biking, paddling, and on foot. Conditions are unpredictable, but may get very cold at night and on the water... be prepared.

T-shirts, sweatshirts, bags or other cool goodies for all participants. Awards for all who complete the adventure challenges.

The short course will have moderate climbs and rolling hills. Biking will be on fireroads, singletrack, and off-trail. For the longer race, you will have several very steep climbs on both foot and bike. Also, you will need to have self-rescue experience in a kayak and be prepared to be biking and paddling at night.
