Final 2014 race results SPORT, EXPERT !


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.

    Summary of changes for 2011.

    There are some major changes this year. Please read carefully--don’t say we didn’t warn you!

    1) This year race will be a point-to-point format with less than the usual number of optional points. The Expert course distance looks like this: biking – 20-25 miles, paddling – 8-10 miles, running/hiking – 5-12 miles. If you get lost, the extra miles are free of charge. Sport category will have some fun detours and additional biking instead of paddling, but overall distance will be the same. This year sport navigation might be harder than in previous years.

    2) Expert category will have teams of 2 and 4 racers ONLY. COED-4 is the prime division fighting for major prizes. Paddling will be 2 people per canoe with a chance of paddling with your bikes in the canoes (just short section). Canoes and paddles will be provided by Calleva, but racers must provide their own lifejackets. We will update the gear list soon.

    3) Expert category racers will ride mandatory technical single tracks that are at least 5 miles long. No cyclocross bikes are allowed for the Expert category. Sport category racers are allowed to use any bikes, but many optional check points will be accessible only on mountain bikes.

    4) Sport category will have no paddling this year, but racers must be ready for some other water activities. Calleva will provide all necessary gear--get ready for some extreme fun. This year Sport category will also have completely new challenges. Sorry Experts, you have no time for the challenges.

    5) Check-in will be at the same location (Riley’s Lock) and you will leave your cars there. BUT start AND FINISH of the race will be at two remote locations. Racers will be bused to and from there by Calleva. Check the race schedule to see what time you will be brought back to your cars.

    6) To save you some bucks, Calleva is providing its own secure online payment service, eliminating fees to a third party provider. Registration is $75 per racer till May 31, $100 from June 1 to July 31 and $125 after that. The number of spots is limited and the race is always sold out. Online registration will close July 31.
