The next edition of the Checkpoint Tracker Adventure Racing Series presented by Inov-8 will feature an expanded lineup of 26 events, new sponsors and enhancements to the Checkpoint Tracker website as it returns for it's third season in 2009.

Checkpoint Zero is excited to report the continued participation of all 2008 Series promoters and the addition of 5 new promoters who will be bringing a total of 6 new events to the lineup.

The new event promoters joining the Series include Pangea Adventure Racing in FL, 4LPH4 1337 Adventures in GA, Bushwhack Adventures in NC, Perpetual Motion Productions in ID, and Trioba Adventure Racing in WA.

"The reaction to the Series in 2008 exceeded all of my expectations", commented Paul "Yak" Angell, president of Checkpoint Zero, LLC. "As the season progressed we saw increasing interest as more and more teams showed up in the rankings. Virtually all promoters reported teams attending their events solely to wrack up points. That's always been the one metric that we knew would be a true measure of our success."

The 2009 Series kicks off with the Odyssey One Day Extreme on January 18th in Hiawassee, VA followed by the 3rd edition of the Checkpoint Zero Adventure Race set for March 7th in Dahlonega, GA.

Sylvan Sport, makers of the revolution Go "adventure camper", will be supporting the 2009 Series along with Inov-8, Numa Sport Optics, nuun, myTopo.com and several other soon-to-be-announced new sponsors.
