Econaut Investments, LLC is proud to announce the acquisition of Trioba Adventure Racing. Econaut is owned by investors that include Ryan VanGorder and Glenn Rogers, both members of the Pacific Northwest adventure racing team DART-nuun.

Trioba has a rich tradition in the Pacific Northwest as a premier adventure racing series. Many racers in the Pacific Northwest competed in their first adventure race in the Trioba series, which has a history of producing tough races on well designed courses in Washington’s Cascade Mountains.

Econaut intends to continue this tradition and is looking to expand its presence through outdoor activities including, adventure racing camps, and other off road races. "We view this acquisition as a means to promote adventure sports in the Pacific Northwest and are looking forward to working closely with other race organizers in order to offer racers a broad offering of unique events," explained Glenn. In addition, the group sees this as an opportunity to leverage the strengths of their team's adventure racing sponsors and to provide them with additional opportunities to gain exposure and support adventure sports in the Pacific Northwest.

Econaut will spend the remainder of 2008 planning their 2009 race schedule, which will be published by the end of 2008. If you would like more information about Econaut or sponsorship opportunities, please contact Ryan or Glenn at Econaut.pnw@gmail.com.
