2023 Adventure Sports USA Virtual Challenge

It’s back! Let’s hit the water with a bang!  Join the 2023 Adventure Sports Virtual Challenge going on throughout the month of March to see who can log the most miles. Choose one division, two divisions or take the Ultimate Challenge and go for the Trifecta! This year Adventure Sports USA have teamed up with The Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis, an amazing organization that puts on an 80 mile endurance race from Bimini to Florida inspired by the incredible health benefits of the ocean for those living with cystic fibrosis. All donations go directly to them and Adventure Sports USA have included a portion where individual fundraising is possible to generate as much awareness for the cause.

If getting out on the water is not enough of an excuse to join, compete for the glory of being the champion, as well as incredible prizes and a goodie bag sent to all! Don’t forget the sooner you sign up, the more raffles you are entered into!
