About the Event

Over the past 16 years, the Buff Betty has introduced hundreds of women to the sport of adventure racing. It's a race for women, designed by women. The Buff Betty introduces racers to the sport in a fun, laid-back, friendly, and supportive environment. For this year's race, there will be one race course option: the original Buff Betty. The race will run between 8-10 hours, for a full day of biking, trekking, paddling and navigating.

We are only offering one race this year; the course will be designed to accommodate all levels, from beginners to seasoned racers. There will be options for everyone to take on the course in the way they see fit, doing what they can within the time frame. All checkpoints will be optional and all Transition Areas (TAs) mandatory. The team with the most points in the least amount of time wins. It’s the perfect race for beginners, while also challenging the most seasoned of racers—with options to take on more challenging checkpoints, depending on navigation, strategy, distance and mountain biking ability.

About Williamsburg

Learn more about the host city, Williamsburg.

Williamsburg is a city in southeast Virginia. Settled in 1632, it was the capital of Virginia from 1699 to 1779 and in 1926, John D. Rockefeller Jr commissioned a restoration project to bring Williamsburg back to its former colonial glory. During this period, 700 modern homes were demolished, colonial buildings were renovated, and more than 400 buildings were reconstructed on their original foundations. Today, the Colonial Williamsburg district in the center of town is a popular tourist center and people visit in droves to immerse themselves in the nation's colonial history.
