From the Organizer
Raid the Rock is Arkansas's longest running adventure race. We've been around since 2001!
Get ready for a new adventure this year, we are changing some things up and getting back to our urban roots! Get your team together and come get your Adventure On!!
There will be two course options: an 4 hour sprint course and a 12 hour full adventure course. Each course will require advanced navigation (orienteering). You can find more information in the drop-down menu of the Race Information tab at www.raidtherock.com. Stay tuned for updates for each race.
Each race will include trekking/running, mountain biking, paddling, and if the location allows, a ropes section. All of these disciplines are done while navigating through the entire course with a compass and map. Teams may sign up in the following categories: 3 or 4 person male, female, or co-ed; 2 person male, female, or co-ed; and solo. Solo racers must submit a race "resume" to register.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Adventure racing strings together trekking, mountain biking, and paddling — with navigation by map and compass — across a course you have to find as much as finish. Most events are raced as a team, often over many hours or even multiple days.
It rewards the all-rounder and the problem-solver as much as the pure athlete: route choice, teamwork, and staying steady when you're tired and off the map are as much the challenge as the miles.
Trek, mountain bike, and paddle with navigation between checkpoints — from a few hours to multi-day expeditions, usually in teams.
