WCAD on ice

It is with heartfelt regret that WCAD will be taking a short break from the staging of Adventure Races in the first part of 2015. Unfortunately we have not been able to secure any sponsorships for the 2015 summer season which makes it difficult to create races that are financially feasible.news110215

WCAD has been a passion project for all of us over the past four years and we do love staging epic adventures for all of you but it is also all-consuming on top of our regular jobs and then having to dedicate the majority of available weekends to scouting potential new areas and venues for each event. For this reason, we think a short break might do us well after which we will be back, bigger and better and with renewed vigor and energy to get out there and help you explore the Cape Mountains.

If you are an avid and regular WCAD adventure racer then don’t despair (too much). There will still be some ‘less official’ AR events taking place in the Cape in coming months. They will be more like organized training AR’s and will have no formal connection to WCAD. This sporadic series of ‘races’ will be known IncognitoAR.

IncognitoAR

  • Organised Adventure Races that take more of a training-session approach
  • These events are aimed mostly at the more experienced type adventure racer who knows what to expect (ie. expect the unexpected) but events are open to whoever wishes to attend and new faces VERY welcome
  • Event distances will vary from approx 40-100km and discipline breakdown may vary significantly
  • Race rules are not policed, events more for those who willingly adhere to the spirit of the sport
  • No prizes, no sponsors, no event branding and race set up
  • No entry fees, participants will be required to cover their own entry fees/permits to reserves where required
  • No website, no Facebook (for now) no marketing or public race info. Interested participants must subscribe to mailing list to receive upcoming race info. Some WCAD regulars and AR ‘old hats’ already added to the list so check your email.
  • Please spread the word!
