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.
