Our Race:

Auburn University's Semper Fidelis Society is hosting an Sprint Adventure Race, a 2-3 hours with a 4 hour cap, consisting of trail running, canoeing, and orienteering. Competitors will be required to negotiate several obstacles and complete a variety of challenges along the course.

The 2006 Amphibious Warrior Adventure Race is sanctioned by the U.S. Adventure Racing Association (USARA). All competitors must have a USARA racing license. If you do not have a license, you can either visit their website and sign up for an annual membership or purchase a one-day racing license at the race ($8.00).

What is Adventure Racing?

The sport of Adventure Racing is sweeping the nation at a phenomenal rate. The new challenges presented to adventure racers have caused the sport to grow by leaps and bounds daily in popularity. Adventure Racing is one of the few sports where just completing the race is often considered a victory. Another driving factor in Adventure Racing is the emphasis that is placed on teamwork, rather than individual achievement.

Adventure Racing offers an easy crossover fro cyclists, runners, and water sport enthusiasts just to mention a few. Adventure races can vary anywhere from 3-5 person teams to the 2 man adventure sprints. The disciplines can also vary from race to race. Adventure racing can include shredding through tight singletrack on a mountain bike or orienteering and hiking through a dense forest. Adventure racers may find themselves ripping down rapids in a canoe and then rappelling off a 100 foot rock face. The races can last a few hours or several days and often cover 100 miles or more!
