Baja Travesia welcomes women to a new era in AR

03.11.2007

The third edition of the Baja Travesia (Mexico), which will take place March 22-29 2008, is the only North American competition in the AR World Series circuit.

Women of Multisport Adventure Racing have come to a new era.

The Baja Travesia is presenting an opportunity that turns a new page for adventure sports.
For the first time, the women's category has a multiday expedition race with a proper prize waiting at the finish line.

Teams of three women will be aided by only map and compass, and their support crew as they take on the 400km course of the Baja Peninsula.
In it's third year, the Baja Travesia will host this women's pro division for the first time.

In recent years, women have displayed to the world there is no gender barrier in this most grueling sport in the world. It's become common knowledge and well documented that women have the capacity to not only excel during ultra distance events, but perhaps even more so than men. In March, the women will be treated a little special before and after the race with an attractive swag package and a few special surprises. During the event, it's business as usual, the playing field is level and theirs is no special treatment for the women. The media however will be having special reporting and heaps of live coverage.

You can expect the entire sporting world to know all that is going on with the women of Baja Travesia.

Teams must register as soon as possible to secure a spot as an adventure racing world championship qualifier (www.arworldseries.com), the women's pro division should they place in the top 3 overall of Baja Travesia would be invited to the Worlds taking place in Brazil 2008.
