It's almost time for your Shenandoah Adventure!
Dear Adventure Racers: The Shenandoah Adventure Weekend is just around the corner and we are super excited that you will be joining us for one of the largest adventure racing weekends in the United States. We have four different events with more than 500 adventure racers coming out to enjoy a weekend of paddling, biking, trekking, and navigating. All event information including schedule, required gear, and logistics can be found on the Rev3 Adventure web site under your specific event. Here are the direct links:
We are getting ready to assemble maps, passports, ePunches, race packets, T-shirts, and all the other gear related to your team. Please review the online rosters and make sure everything looks OK. Let us know if you have any changes you need to make to your team by April 9th.
Make sure you read all the information on your event page, and please contact us with any questions. Please "like" and follow our Facebook page because we post the most up-to-date information there. We will be following up closer to race day with the final event schedules.

EXTRA FUN: Please help us support the Warren County Backpack Program by bringing in non-perishable, kid-friendly food items for hungry little bellies in the Front Royal area, our hometown. This wonderful local program sends a hungry child home each week with a backpack containing enough food to keep them fed over the summer. Healthy single-serve items and bulk items (such as mac & cheese, soup, fruit cups and applesauce, shelf-stable milk, juice boxes, crackers, peanut butter, canned pasta, raisins and other dried fruit, fruit snacks, cereal, oatmeal, and the like) are all welcome. We’ll have a donation box at the start line. Please help if you can! We were able to donate an overflowing huge box last year thanks to our participants!
We are really looking forward to having a fun day (or two) with you, your friends, and your family. As always, contact us with any questions at info@rev3adventure.com.
