RIF Spirit
World Champions Line Up at first ARWS Europe Race - RIF Spirit
Press Release / 16.03.2022
The Swedish Armed Forces Adventure team (SAFAT), the current AR World Champions, will be on the start line for RIF Spirit, the French round of the Adventure Racing World Series - European Region, from April 1st to 3rd, in Haute-Loire.
The course of 151km and 3200m of elevation gain will be covered by 3 activities (9 sections overall): MTB 79km, trek 39km and kayak 33km, and 60 European teams will be competing.
“RIF Spirit track will be as challenging and unexpected, as its host department Haute Loire is. This territory is unique and 100% outdoorsy. We already experienced it in 2015 with Raid in France and are very keen on coming back for RIF Spirit," explains Pascal Bahuaud, Race Director.
"Teams will gravitate around Lavalette Lake, between 400m of altitude and 1400m, in a region with outstanding views and a wild nature. They need to watch out for a special ingredient that may add some challenge: snow!”
