The next race on the A1 World Wide Calendar is first race of the A1 Costa Rica National Series - Sarapiqui 1856 Adventure Race. This is more than a race, it is a trip along the route followed by the Costa Rican troops led by President Juan Rafael Mora Porras to the point known as Sardinal (marker 1856), in his struggle to defend Costa Rican territory from the American filibuster army under the command of William Walker.
Events
The A1 series kicks off in the Southern Drakensberg with the Vasbyt 60hr, an area with big mountains, fast-flowing rivers, and vast areas of rural countryside. With a format that allows all teams to race for between 45-60 hours, it offers a challenging event for both the experienced and novice adventure racer. Great training for Expedition Africa. For those wanting something a little less, we will have a Vasbyt 12hr and Vasbyt 6hr running alongside the main A1 event.
