As we reach the midway point of 2021, it’s time to take a look at the state of play for the various Raid Adventure races.

With just four more sleeps to go until the twelfth annual running of the Rogue Raid, it’s time to turn our hands to a review of the course and the competition for the title. The 2021 edition of the race is the biggest yet – perhaps not in terms of physical distance (that title goes to the 2019 Raid 100 course), but certainly by competitor numbers. Over 280 competitors are […]
Well, that is a wrap on the 2020 Wildfire Raid. We had a great field of teams this year with 192 competitors, going well over our initial cap, and many of these were first time racers. I was pretty happy how the course came together, and felt confident that I would not have to backtrack again this year on my prediction that it would not be swept. Feedback is always […]
