They saved the best for last during the closing ceremonies of the 2004 ARWC, hosted by Raid the North Extreme. Not everyone was paying attention when the final slide of the race slide show popped up - but those who were watching learned that New Zealand will host the 2005 ARWC. Geoff Hunt, the race director for The Southern Traverse and the director of the ARWC, gave a few details out: the race will be in November, on the West Coast of the Southern Alps. That means teams competing in this year\'s Traverse will get a preview of what to expect at the World Champs.
