What

The Midnight Rush at the Raging Russell Adventure Race (MRAR) returns for 2008 as part of the TrailBlazers Race Series! Teams of three will trek, paddle, mountain bike, navigate and rappel in both darkness and daylight. The race is SUPPORTED so you do need a support crew. This race is USARA sanctioned. You will need to be a USARA member or purchase a one-day license if you are not a USARA member for $8. You can also purchase a yearly USARA membership for $35.

Trailblazers membership is included in the race entry fee. If you are not a member or need to renew your membership you will be paying an additional amount. If your membership expires before October 30 you will need to renew your membership.

For 2008, the MRAR is a USARA regional qualifier for the USARA National Championship Race to be held in November near Blue Ridge, GA. A $400 sponsorship will be paid towards the entry fee for the winning coed team of the Midnight Rush race to the 2008 USARA Adventure Race National Championship.
