Odyssey Adventure Racing Academy (OARA) is the longest running adventure racing school in America and is respected as \"the most inclusive\" place to learn adventure racing in the country. Aspiring adventurers interested in being a part of this fast-growing sport, and experienced racers who want to become more proficient, will learn the necessary racing skills at the Academy held at the historical Camp Washington Carver.

The New River Gorge becomes your classroom setting as you learn and refine skills in navigation/orienteering, flatwater/whitewater paddling & swimming, fixed ropes including ascending & rappelling, mountain biking and racing.

Students of all experience levels participate in 4-day or 6-day courses that, in addition to covering disciplines listed above, focus on physical training, race strategy, team dynamics and outdoor survival skills. Activities are held in scenic locations throughout the New River Gorge. Classroom training takes place at the Camp Washington Carver Historic Site, the largest chestnut-log structure in the country. Instructors are accomplished adventure racers and experts in the various disciplines. The 6-day course culminates with the Wild Wonderful 24 Hour Adventure Race.

The course is designed to address the varying skill levels of the students. These classes are also for those who do not necessarily want to race but who want to acquire expert instruction in all or any of these areas. - part of the 200 (teams van 2) km dure series Entry Fee( USD )See All Event Posts
