A calendar of shorter introductory adventure races over 3-6 hours is also being rolled out.

“My team and I are also acutely aware of the COVID-19 situation across Asia, and the world, and must be safe and responsible in the way we plan new events and also respectful of the impacts it has had on our countries and communities. Hopefully as we look to the future we can bring a message of hope and healing through these outdoor experiences and adventures.”

The ARWS Asia Circuit will bring together event organisers throughout the region to test teams over 125-250km of non-stop racing in the disciplines of trekking, mountain biking, kayaking and navigation. The top team at each of these Tier 2 events gains a coveted position on the start line of the annual Asia Championship where the winning team can qualify for the AR World Championship.
