Calleva Adventure Race 2014—Not your ordinary adventure race!

The sixth edition was an incredible hit and sold out well before the deadline! Don't miss out on the most exciting race in the Washington, DC metro area.

For 2014 we will continue to have two categories: EXPERT for advanced racers and SPORT for strong athletes with limited experience in adventure racing. Racers in both categories will have up to 10 hours to complete the course, but the Expert category will include more technical disciplines that require special skills.

Brand new for this year, we’re excited to announce that the Calleva 2014 Adventure Race will be a USARA Regional Qualifier for the 2014 USARA National Championship being held this year at Deep Creek Lake! 3/4-person coed-teams in our Expert Category can qualify and compete for the top prize, a $400 sponsorship toward the National Championships.

    2. On Behalf of Team A-List / Too Many Kids, I wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Dima, Karen, Vlad, Calleva, and ALL the awesome volunteers who made this race possible. Once again this year, we had a GREAT time...although I for one ended up in a LOT more pain than last year. The course would have been very challenging in any weather, but the 98 degree heat made it an incredible test of all the athletes. My thanks also goes to all those spectators and volunteers who lined up to cheer for teams as they finished...that really gave me an extra boost right when I needed it the most! Congratulations to all teams who finished (or even attempted) the very tough course.
