“We\'re very excited to have ARGEAR.com as one of our 2005 sponsors”, said Global X’s Joe Lawson. “ARGEAR.com was founded by Michael Johnson, who has successfully completed Eco-Challenge, Subaru Primal Quest, USA Supreme, Balance Bar, Salomon X-Adventure, Wasatch Adventure Race, Adventure Xstream and more. He has finished every race he has participated in and with his Adventure Racing experience and obvious passion for the sport, you simply won\'t find a better place for all the best adventure racing gear and customer service.”

Global X Racing is one of the leading producers and organizers of Adventure Racing and Multi-Sport Events in North America. \"We had a great and exciting 2004 season with four events, a national feature article in Adventure Sports Magazine and were chosen by the USARA to organize, host and manage the 2004 USARA Adventure Race National Championships in French Lick, Indiana.
