Corsica Raid Announced as AR Euro Championships
Rob Howard / 17.01.2012
The Corsica Raid, which was first run in 1994 and may be the oldest adventure race in Europe, has been selected as this year’s European Championship event, with the winners claiming a free place in the World Champs in France in September.
This year the race has changed formats to include a traditional mixed 4 person team (supported) for the 4 and half day race, which takes place from May 26-30th and joined the AR Euro Series. Teams taking part will have the added incentive of the Euro Championship title and a place at ARWC in France- and these will be hard to get. What’s more their entry fee will be paid as part of the prize.
