The world’s top athletes together
Each year, a new destination is selected to host the event. Winners of qualifying races and continental championships earn a guaranteed and free spot on the ARWC (Adventure Racing World Championship) start line. The very first Adventure Racing World Championship was held in Switzerland in 2001.
