Throughout the fall, winter, and spring, we will be adding resources to this page to help less experienced expedition racers. We will post links to useful articles, produce original material, and organize some virtual information sessions and seminars for those looking to learn more about multi-day racing.

When talking to a new racer about which races to attend, I always recommend Rootstock Racing. There are a variety of races, from a few hours to a new expedition race, from foot-only to races requiring whitewater experience. I also find Rootstock races very balanced. As an all-female team, we often find ourselves biking a lot to make the cut offs. With Rootstock we know we will get a full race experience. And with races capped, I know it will be a real wilderness experience, and not bumper-to-bumper traffic on the trails.
I also find that with Rootstock being a family affair of Abby and Brent's, it is more of the community than just a race organization. They encourage diversity, always looking for a new ways to reach out and improve. Watching their daughter handing out passports at registration or seeing their son testing the Rock Creek water depth for us always puts a smile on my face and makes me confident that the future of Adventure Racing is bright and in good hands.
