What could be more “magical” than the Island of Beauty!
Bellow, an interview with Pascal Bahuaud, founder of the Back to Nature team in 2007, with which he organized 10 ARWS World Cups, 1 European Championship, and 2 ARWC World Championships.
What is the spirit of adventure racing?
Races of the Adventure Racing World Series circuit are created to encourage a maximum autonomy of the competitors. GPS devices are prohibited and replaced by maps at a 1:50,000 scale instead. Competitors will go through such magnificent landscapes that they will naturally adopt a preservation mindset. Raising awareness and fostering responsibility proves far more effective than strict access bans, int his sense, we believe that a careful and thoughtful use of natural spaces is far more efficient. This constant reflection on nature serves the design of the race as a genuine driving force.
Why is Corsica an exceptional set up for this World Championship?
We are preparing an authentic race that encourages a respectful exploration of the island’s natural territories. Our baseline, Back to Nature, reflects our desire for this immersive team expedition to stay true to the essence of non-stop adventure racing.
What could be more “magical” than the Island of Beauty to host this World Championship? We are proud to prepare such a challenge and excited for the months ahead, fully dedicated to bringing this extraordinary adventure to life.
