Across Western Canada, a new partnership between Subaru Western Region and Expedition Canada is helping shape the future of one of the world’s most exciting endurance sports through the launch of the Subaru Western Canada Adventure Racing Series.
More than a collection of races, the series is creating a pathway for athletes of every experience level to challenge themselves, explore incredible landscapes, and become part of a growing outdoor community.
Whether your background is trail running, mountain biking, paddling, hiking, or multisport, adventure racing brings those passions together in a uniquely rewarding way. Teams navigate through spectacular wilderness using only a map and compass, relying on teamwork, strategy, resilience, and determination to reach the finish line.
It’s endurance sport with a sense of discovery.
It’s competition with a spirit of collaboration.
And it’s an experience that stays with you long after the race is over.

More Than Racing
Adventure racing has always been about more than crossing a finish line.
Every event introduces participants to communities they may never have otherwise visited, supporting local tourism, businesses, accommodations, restaurants, and outdoor recreation providers. Athletes leave with unforgettable memories, while host communities benefit from welcoming visitors who share a passion for exploring the outdoors.
The series also reflects a broader commitment to growing healthy, active communities by making outdoor adventure more accessible. From newcomers tackling their first event to elite teams preparing for international competition, every participant belongs on the same journey.
A Shared Vision
Subaru has long been recognized for encouraging people to explore beyond the pavement and embrace the outdoors. That spirit aligns naturally with adventure racing – a sport built on curiosity, resilience, teamwork, and discovering what’s possible.
Together, Subaru Western Region and Expedition Canada are investing in the continued growth of endurance sport, helping race directors, volunteers, communities, and athletes build something that extends far beyond race day.
