The line up for the 2004 Adventure Racing World Championship, to be held at Raid The North Extreme from August 1-8, 2004, in Western Newfoundland is now complete.

The final 8 teams have been selected by Race Director Geoff Langford from a long waitlist to complete an entry of 60 teams – and the additions make it one of the most international and competitive races ever. Between them the final entries have won many expedition races and the Raid Series, and competed in all of the big races around the world.

The lucky teams who have just found out they are going to Newfoundland are:

The North Face (UK) - Winners of Adrenalin Rush and 4 Winds USA Supreme

Morpheus (US) - A team with EcoChallenge, Southern Traverse, and Raid Gauloises experience
Tally-Ho! (Wales) - A team of US Welsh expats with top ten finishes at Southern Traverse, Appalachian Extreme, and Beast of the East.

These teams will join a line up of the world\'s best, including Montrail (US), Nokia (Finland), and Nike ACG Balance Bar (US), at the start line in Western Newfoundland, Canada for one of the most highly anticipated events of the AR season.
