Ajita Madan, Race Director says, “We are super excited to host our 2nd Championship event. Our Championship races are bigger than other sprint and qualifier races as this gives our athletes an opportunity to understand the magnitude of this sport. From endurance training to planning logistics, everything is huge and massive. We always want our athletes to feel challenged, test team strategy and more. The host location of this race is “Goa” which is known as beach destination of the country, however there is also another side of Goa which is yet to explored much. The state has an amazing history. While our Adventure Racers look for checkpoints, the mountains and ocean will always be watching over them.” Talking about the categories and difficulty level, Sayeesha Kirani, Race Director said, “Every course is unique. We have 2 categories, 120K, for the challenger, 60k who wants to push their game who are just starting their AR journey. We will have 20 teams racing for this championship, every category will have the element of surprise and how they are going to cross over. We do mix and match Google Maps as well as Topo maps for Navigation. The course will take our teams traversing through villages, rivers, mountains and valleys and yes a bit of Goan beaches. So yes, it is going to be interesting to see how teams plan to do everything in the least amount of time. It takes a massive effort to organize a sport like this where multiple disciplines and multiple departments are involved. We worked with the authorities to curate a theme “Goa Beyond Beaches”. We thank all the departments for their support and Department of Goa Tourism for welcoming Adventure Racing.” The headquarter of this race is National Institute of Water Sports. It was established in 1990, it has been actively engaged in professionalization of leisure watersports in the country through training and capacity building of the manpower, assisting the Government and industry in framing and setting safety standards, feasibility reports, development plans, etc. To assure the safety protocol and monitoring of watersports activities, the Institute also assists the Central & State Governments and Private firms in framing and setting safety standards, feasibility reports and development plans, beach management plan.
