The Desert Winds Adventure Series has been providing quality adventure races for teams from all over the United States since 2007. This year, The Desert Winds will be producing its first expedition length race September 18th – 25th 2010 in the Mojave Desert just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. This 310 mile (or 500km) race will consist of trekking, mountain biking, rappelling, desert navigation, paddling, and surprises throughout the incredible terrain.

The Leaderboard will be provided by Checkpoint Tracker available at www.checkpointtracker.com. Live video updates will be available during the race at www.youtube.com and the race site. The Desert Winds Expedition Race will be a part of the Checkpoint Tracker Series for 2010.

All National Teams will receive a $150 discount per International team member.

With the registration price structure increasing with more teams participating, The Desert Winds Expedition Race will also provide an increasing prize structure. The more teams that participate, the larger the prize pool becomes.
