About this race
Expedition Wild West
4.5 days | 350 miles | 80 teams

Expedition Wild West is fast-paced, exciting, and constantly evolving. Expect frequent transitions, numerous modalities, special challenges, and new problems to solve throughout the race. There is plenty of room for tactical decision-making and smart trade-offs. We're layering in the fun without losing what makes expedition racing extraordinary. Think European flair brought to the Wild West.
