Notice: The Kokopelli Challenge has been cancelled, this includes all 3 races, Kayak Race, Adventure Race, and the Off Road Triathlon.
Regretably, due to a lack of interest and only a very small number of registered racers for this weekend of events we have to cancel these events for the 2009 season. This includes the 24-30 hour Adventure Race, the Kokopelli Challenge Kayak Race and the Moab Xstream Off Road Triathlon. We appologize to those racers that had pre-registered and made plans to attend the races in Moab. We understand your dissapointment, but the number of registered racers at this date simply won't support the event.
We are in the process of contacting each team/racer to inform them of the cancellation. And, we will be issuing refunds to all those racers who have paid their entry fees. Please contact us if you have any questions. 970-259-7771.
We hope to see you again at the 2010 Adventure Xstream Series.
