The North American Adventure Racing Series (NAARS) is proud to announce that the 2014 North American Adventure Racing Series National Championship will be produced by Race Director Andy Magnus of ENDRacing in North Dakota. This Legendary Adventure Race will be a 30 to 36 hour test of fortitude in the Badland’s, North Dakota, featuring some of America’s most breathtaking landscapes. Andy and his ENDRacing team joined the North American Adventure Racing Series with the inclusion of multiple races in the 2013 season. The END racing team is committed to bringing serious adventure racing to the Great Plains. The small organization is made up of some of the best racers in the USA, and brings their wealth of knowledge to designing amazing courses. The END (Extreme North Dakota) concept began with the hosting of North Dakota's first ever Adventure Race back in 2007.
The 2014 North American Adventure Racing Series will include 80 races from coast to coast in the U.S. along with a collection of races in Canada. The platform will include Regional Championships in Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Midwest, West, and Canada. NAARS is currently accepting bids for each of the Regional Championships for the 2014 season.

Uhh Ohh....after growing up with the RD Andy Magness, racing with him across the world, and being pretty understanding of his diabolical adventure mind - I am super excited for this announcement. Not only has hew grown one of the most successful AR race brands (ENDracing host 8 incredible and diverse events each year) in NORTH DAKOTA of all places, he is largely responsible for the growth of the great plains hardcore suffer athlete....teams from this area are holding their own in races all over the nation with nary a mountain (or even a hill) to train on. For more insight check out his other blog: threehoursaweek.blogspot.com and get excited (and maybe scared) for what this championship will offer!
