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.

For 2009 we’ve got 8 events at 4 different 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 good challenge in a beautiful - yet rugged - location. Course is designed for beginner to intermediate racers with easier navigation.

- A tough, 24+hr course for more experienced participants that want a longer distance, higher degree of difficulty, and a true endurance test.

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

The Pacheco, Quicksilver, and Coe events have been progressively more difficult and should have prepared you for a more advanced challenge... therefore, we created a magnificent 24 hour course in the Whiskeytown NRA that will satisfy definitely challenge even the most experienced athletes. Rogaine-orienteering style, there will be many navigation and route choices. Steep hills and off trail travel throughout the course.

If you don't feel ready for the full course, we also have a shorter 4-6hr. edition that is also very challenging, but not as gruelling and with fewer navigational challenges.
