Mark your calendars! Untamed New England, the 3 day, non-stop adventure race will begin at the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel on July 9th. Race disciplines include; trekking, biking, paddling, ropes, navigation and conservation projects. Untamed Adventure is proud to be a part of the Adventure Race World Series this year, organizing the only qualifier in North America. Teams from all over the world will be traveling to New Hampshire to compete for entry into the Adventure Race World Series Finals in Portugal.

After an award winning debut edition last Summer, the Untamed New England Adventure Race joins with premiere races from around the planet in the Adventure Racing World Series (AR World Series). Podium finishers at Untamed New England will battle for over $10,000 in prizes and qualify for the World Championship race being held in Portugal in December 2009.

“We’re excited by the opportunities this opens for our race, for the New England region, for the American and Canadian teams who deserve a World Championship Qualifier on their own home turf, and for the environmental causes we promote;” observed Untamed New England Director Grant Killian.

9 races around the globe host races as part of the AR World Series. In all of the races, teams compete non-stop for days of biking, trekking, paddling, orienteering, and other challenges. With this announcement, New England adds its name to this list of adventure destinations and participants in Untamed New England will explore the wilderness terrain of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

Our website http://www.untamedne.com/ will have a live race portal tracking the progress of the teams and reporting all the exciting news as it happens on the race course throughout the three days.
