Terra Traverse™ and its Expedition Journey AR format was born from the need to provide a journey style, expedition length adventure race that caters to athletes, team sponsors, advertisers and media. We have brought together the world's best course designers, race directors and television producers to create an event that raises the sport of adventure racing to a new level.

Our new Expedition Journey format reduces competitor equipment loads by eliminating the typical "death march" factor, creating faster paced racing and covering greater distances in a much shorter time. The race is a geographic and cultural journey, providing multiple starts and finishes with teams racing side by side throughout the entire competition.
