The Adventure Racing World Series (ARWS) is a global competition that brings together teams from various countries to participate in multi-discipline adventure races. These races typically include activities such as trekking, mountain biking, and kayaking, often set in remote and challenging environments. Teams navigate through diverse terrains using maps and compasses, emphasizing teamwork and endurance. The ARWS consists of a series of qualifying events held throughout the year, culminating in a championship race. Teams earn points based on their performance in these events, with the top teams competing for the title of world champion. The series promotes adventure sports and encourages outdoor exploration.
