Throughout the month of March, from 1 to 31, participate in the Adventure Sports USA Virtual Challenge! All you have to do is accumulate kilometers on your favorite nautical supports to try to win many gifts from Dakine, Quickblade, Garmin and others: wing, harness, paddles, equipment… And no matter the conditions because you can participate in wing, kite, SUP and SUP surf, but also in OC1! Whether there is wind, waves, or embarking on a mega downwind in a wing or even going down a river with your SUP, the important thing is to put in the kilometers! If going on the water isn’t enough excuse to motivate you to participate, then go for the glory of breaking a record, to try to win incredible prizes, but also to receive a bag of goodies sent to all riders !

This year Adventures Sports USA have teamed up with The Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis, an amazing organization that puts on an 80 mile endurance race from Bimini to Florida inspired by the incredible health benefits of the ocean for those living with cystic fibrosis. All donations go directly to them and the organizer have included a portion where individual fundraising is possible to generate as much awareness for the cause.
Participating is simple ! Register on the RunSignUp platform by selecting the sport(s) of your choice. If you choose two sports in a pack, the price is decreasing. And you can even embark on the Ultimate Trifeca, combining kite/OC + wingfoil + SUP, to try to win a Garmin Instinct Surf, and thus prove to everyone that you are the ultimate water·wo·men!
Then all you have to do is upload your tracking files to RunSignUp. RunSignUp supports GPX, FIT or TCX files. These files can be created from most tracking applications such as Garmin Connect, Strava, Apple Watch, NK Speedcoach, etc. Important: the download must be completed within 36 hours of the end of the activity.
To qualify, you will also need to follow @adventuresportsusa on social media and also tag @adventuresportsusa #adventureit #ASvirtualchallenge on your challenge posts. Everything will be reposted, so you will see where you are compared to your opponents!
