In 2007 the Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge burst onto the expedition adventure racing scene and has quickly become a magnet for the world's best racers.

The production value of this event is off the hook.

Race management is among the most experienced and professional in the history of the sport, the cultural setting is nothing short of magical and the locale is...breathtaking.

In 2009 the ADTA Awards will collaborate with 7 different races/organizations who share our idea as to the necessity to help and encourage new, strong teams. A section on the official race web site will be dedicated to the awards and will feature information on the procedures, the partner events/organizations, the award winning teams, etc.

We're very excited to have been selected to participate in this outstanding program and look forward to sending a Checkpoint Tracker Series team to Abu Dhabi in December. We'll be posting updated Series rules soon to spell out exactly how this spectacular prize will be awarded. In the meantime check out the list of Series events...you've got 24 races left to wrack up points.
