Adventure Racing World Series (ARWS) World Championships heads to Canada for an Epic Challenge
The highly anticipated Adventure Racing World Series (ARWS), World Championships, hosted by Expedition Canada and Hoodoo Adventures will take place in the rugged Canadian wilderness area of Penticton, BC, from 22 September to 6 October 2025. This year's championship is set to captivate a global audience, with more than a million viewers expected to dot-watch teams as they navigate the breathtaking and challenging Canadian landscape.
This non-stop, multi-day event will push teams to their physical and mental limits along a grueling course of over 750+km. Teams will have up to 10 days to complete the adventure, with the winning team expected to finish much sooner, showcasing incredible speed and strategy.
Competitors will engage in a diverse range of disciplines, including trekking, trail running, mountain biking, rafting and canoeing, orienteering, and rappelling. The team that successfully completes the entire route first, having visited all mandatory checkpoints, will be crowned the ARWS World Champions for 2025.
"We are very excited to be organizing a World Champs event in North America. It is time. It has been years since we have had a World Champs in that part of the World. Adventure Racing World Series has gotten to the place where we have covered Europe, Africa, Asia and South America, and now to take it to Canada, and have an all Canadian team of race organizers, we can't be happier. The Adventure Racing World Series is ecstatic about the new team Expedition Canada have built, and we are confident that they will put on an amazing event with us, and it will be executed professionally. To add to that with the advancement in technology and media, we can really take adventure racing to the next level. We know that this Canadian organizing team is very driven towards media, and awareness and growth of the sport. It's fitting and it's time for Canada to shine on this world stage. I wish them all the best as they get ready for 2025 and I have all the confidence that they will help this sport excel into the future." – Heidi Muller, Owner of ARWS - Adventure Racing World Series
