Trioba is Back!!

I know for a lot of us 'adventure racers' here in the Northwest, we have been long awaiting the day when there would be a local race of substantial length for us to sweat, bleed, cramp and perhaps even vomit, all the while pushing ourselves to the finish line.

Join me in welcoming back Trioba AR. For over 5 years Trioba had been the PNW staple adventure race that offered sprint, 12 hr, and 24 hour races. Last year Trioba was off the map and it wasn't until very recently that it found itself get back on the map! A large thank you needs to go out to Glenn and Ryan of Econaut Investments for purchasing Trioba and getting right down to the business of planning races. Already, they have posted that there will be a sprint race, usually 4-8 hours in length (May 31), and a 24 hour race covering nearly 100 miles set for September 19th.

There are a number of ways that one can be involved in adventure racing; racer, volunteer, support crew, even a sponsor etc. Adventure Races like any other sport have a number of costs and sponsors are always looked for both by race management and racing teams alike. If you are blessed and feel compelled to give back to the sport and what it stands for Trioba, may be the perfect race series to help with.

Don't just live. . . THRIVE!!
