Adventure Race Slovenia to be AR European Championships for 2009
Press Release / 25.04.2009
AR Slovenia will take place June 19 – 21 with the race centre traditionally in Velenje. The race seems short in term of kilometers (announced length is “only†270 km), but the mountainous terrain will make the route both difficult and long. Adventure Race Slovenia started back in 2003, and the organizers are very experienced now and they can put out a very good race. Last year teams from four countries took part and they are hoping it will be much more this year. More information about European Championships can be found on www.archampionship.eu.
For 2009, Adventure Trophy Poland, a member of AREuroSeries, has decided to take a year off as they could not find a strong sponsor during this time of economic crisis. This year\'s race is cancelled.
Adventure racers who wanted to participate have other options, though: they can switch their plans to two other AREuroSeries races that happen at a very similar time (mid-June). As well as the AR European Championships in Slovenia, the Red Fox Adventure Race (June 12 - 14) will take place in Russia. We hope Adventure Trophy Poland will be back next year refreshed and better than ever.
We also wish to remind all adventure racing fans that the first AREuroSeries race is approaching. On April 28th the Ferrino Extreme Marathon in Ukraine starts with 13 teams from 6 countries, which makes the completion truly international.
You will be able to follow development of this 100 hrs long race on its webpage www.adventurerace.in.ua, and also on the AREuroSeries webpage www.areuroseries.com.
AREuroSeries is a cup of 7 European adventure races: Ferrino Extreme Marathon (Ukraine), Tieto Adventure (Sweden), Adventure Trophy Poland, Adventure Race Slovenia, Red Fox Adventure Race (Russia), Czech Adventure Race and Adventure Racing Poland Championship.
