Liberty Station Adventure Race

About the Event

Registration closes 8/20/26 at noon!

The next San Diego Adventure Racing Club training event will be based out of a new race location, Liberty Station, and offer UP TO 15 hours of fun. As always, if you are scared, you can shorten it to your abilities. This event's course designer and event director, Michael Dubois, has a fun course brewing with lots of paddling, biking and trekking. Starting in boats, you'll get paddling, then biking and hiking (mountain bikes or gravel bikes OK). As always, navigation will be with the maps provided at the start line, and no GPS allowed. Compasses mandatory.

The start line location is TBD, but near Liberty Station, allowing for transition areas and finish food to be purchased at the Liberty Station vendors. Please register EACH person coming so that we have enough maps!
